This is an awesome way to quantify the happiness you feel as a order of time. I wish I did this on a daily basis so that I could see the things that contribute and take away from my personal happiness. I tend to be a pretty introspective guy so I think about this kind of stuff on a regular basis, but I'd be curious to see if analyzing when I'm working out, vs playing videogames has an affect on my real happiness VS the blah feeling that you get when you are able to turn your brain off for a bit.

Kudos on this, and I assume there's a link to how you track your happiness in there somewhere. I've got to dive deeper.

Yeah, agreed, it seems valuable to track your happiness and the factors that contributed to (or detracted from) it. Looks like there are a few apps for this like: https://www.trackyourhappiness.org/
Sounds like this could be interesting for you then! :)

I describe my method here (it's really simple): https://www.trackinghappiness.com/about/method

There are other apps out there that do the same, but approach it differently. You have to find what works for you. No method is wrong in my opinion, it's just that you have to find the method that works best for you. ;-)
