Analytics

A collection of tools and software for quantifying personal data about how I spend my days & analytic software for work. That said, I am a firm follower of quantified self movement and I track and aggregate a lot of valuable data about myself and what I do. Specifically I heavily use Timing and WakaTime to track how I use my time. And I always try to be mindful of the time I spend.

For user facing products, well implemented analytics will let you see how to optimize your system to serve some end goals better and for that you need data.
