Replicate Stephen Wolfram's personal analytics with my own data?

Posted 8 years ago

Hello All,

Question: Need help going about this.

The goal is to replicate Stephen Wolfram's Personal Analytic's ABOUT HIS LIFE FOR MY LIFE with a personal dashboard that I would send to a mentor to monitor my daily productivity.

The goal is to track computer logins and use of programs and files that I have downloaded/ changed.

For example,I want to log and visualize a time stamp on a certain day of how long I spent editing a word file or I spent programming in python.

The long term goal is to build something that encompasses everything from my emails, texts ( sms and whatsapp) , phone calls, chrome history(timestamps spent on each) and sleep activity + time spent on computer.

The goal is to replicate Stephen Wolfram's Personal Analytic's ABOUT HIS LIFE FOR MY LIFE with a personal dashboard that I would send to a mentor to monitor my daily productivity.

I am going to throw all of my data into here. Please correct me if I am confused, I am going with the assumption that I can throw all the data into hear and manipulate it in Mathematica.

Here are some things that I found useful so far:

Whatsapp

Gmail Logs

Computer Logs

For computer logs, all I was able to find was: - http://www.ryanbrink.com/visualizing-productivity-with-elasticsearch-logstash-and-d3/ - http://blog.webkid.io/visualize-datasets-with-elk/

I am trying these as well for a few days - Time Doctor - https://www.timedoctor.com/ - ManicTime -http://www.manictime.com/

Will post an update on how those work

Difficulties - It is hard to grab all the whatsapp data I generate because to the best of my knowledge you can only email one conversation at time.

  • Software:

    • Phone OS:
      • Android 6.0
  • Hardware:

    • Samsung Galaxy S6

Computer Hardware - Windows 7 Professional

TL;DR - The goal is to replicate Stephen Wolfram's Personal Analytic's about his life for my life with a personal dashboard that I would send to a mentor to monitor my daily productivity. * Seeking advice any easier ways to get data from text messages, google chrome, phone calls, applications on my phone etc... *

  • ALL SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME.

I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong area for this question.
