Manual daily tracking

Following is everything you can track in TaoTime manually.

Daily journals

Daily journaling is a part of a good mental hygiene. With TaoTime you can write your daily review or gratitude journal, and use a tag system to tag your day with custom tags. A day could be tagged with "headache" for example. This can be then used in the correlator, where you can let TaoTime automatically find what the headache is correlated with.

Daily questions

For reoccuring themes in your life use the question system rather than tags. For thing you know will take place a few times a week, create a new question. E.g. "Did I have a productive day today?". Try to be as specific as you can, because a few months down the line a badly formulated question can stop being useful. You can also assign a Jungian archetype to each of the questions, as well as a RPG type.

• E.g. played PC games - Puer; was disciplined - King or Warrior; programmed today - Creator or Magician
• E.g. had jiu jitsu class today - Agility; was at gym - Strength; meditated - Luck; had social contact - Charisma

The question index will count towards the daily rating and also the classes of questions. It can be -1, 0 or +1. The value will then show up in the correlations as productivity_index_order and it will also count in the question_class archetype = Jungian archetype

Foods

Add any food you want to track. Weight tracking is not supported, but you can track the taste and temperature according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, as well as the type of the food (fat, protein...). This will also show up in the correlator.

Dream

Write your dream text and analysis in here.

Dream symbols

Each dream has also a tag functionality, which in this case serves as a dream symbol tracker. Every dream that shares more than 2 tags with some other dream will show up a link to the other dream it shares its tags with. Number of occurences of the dream symbol is also shown, so you will know exactly how many times a year you dreams about your Shadow for example.

Emotions

Track your emotions classified into 4 classes. Uses a variant of Plutchik's wheel of emotions.

Energy and libido

Track your daily energy level and sexual libido.

Automatic daily tracking

Following is everything that TaoTime tracks for you automatically.

Archetype of the day

Archetype of the day is calculated from the questions that have been checked.

Day rating

rating = rating + (note.temper * 10) + (note.sensitivity * 10) + (note.attitude * 10) + (note.introspection * 10) + note.sentimentScore * 3 + note.productivity_pulse + note.github_events + note.fit_steps / 30 + note.meditation

Github events

This tracks github push events, so issues and commits.

Google Fit steps and meditation

Steps count and meditation minutes from Google Fit. If you have an external app like Calm, connect it to Google Fit first.

Days since relapse

This can be used to track any form of addiction you have. On the day you relapsed just use the day tag "relapse" and the counter will reset.

TOP 3 songs

TOP 3 songs of the day, taken from your LastFM account (it must be scrobbling from Spotify, more in configuration section)

Rescue Time statistics

RescueTime productivity stats. Only values with more than 1 hours show up in the note, but everything is being saved in the database for the correlator (so even the values under 1 hour).

Steam games and CSFD movies

Your Steam games and CSFD movies. More details in the configuration section.

Temperature and moon phases

Connect TaoTime to weather stats and get stats like humidity, air pressure or moon phases.

Music features

Track music features of your daily songs. More details in Spotify docs.

Functionality

Top dream symbols

Tracks the top dream symbols of each dream, and visualizes it in a nice interactive graph.

Shared dream symbols

TaoTime will let you know automatically if any dream shares more than 2 symbols with any other dream.

Data graphs

Plots the main data points, like productivity, air pressure etc.

Data search

Visit the Data pane in TaoTime, it will show you everything that is being tracked. You can use the table filter to filter only the values you want. So if you want to see only the days you were drinking green tea, you can.

Correlator

Allows you to correlate everything with everything. If you are curious if your coffee consumption correlates with your music, or anything else, with anything else, you can find it here.
