So something like rescuetime that exports data from your active programs to a calendar/event timeline visualization a la the spotify example from the article?


That would be one component, yes!

I'm thinking of some sort of standard history export format that can be overlaid onto a calendar. The Spotify history bar mockup would be one example. My browser history could be another one. So could the various data tracked by my smartwatch.

It would transform the calendar from something that is only used for planning the future to something that helps us recall the past.

We know this data is out there. Shoot, companies use it to build marketing profiles of us all the time. It would just be cool to be able to build such a profile about ourselves so we could review our decisions and evaluate our choices.

I feel like the quantified life folks would be all over this!
