I’ve published several web pages on mySelfQuantifier, which is a self-quantification project I alluded to in part 3 of Cognitive Productivity. While time-tracking is its typical application, it is a general, yet simple, contribution to the Quantified Self movement.

Next week, I expect to publish screencasts demonstrating how one can use the mySelfQuantifier system. [√ Done 2016-09-10] An upcoming book, Cognitive Productivity with MacOS®: 7 Principles for Getting Smarter, will also describe this.
I’ve got quite a few blog posts to write about mySelfQuantifier. But I also have a very heavy R&D load on other projects.

This project might surprise some of you who have read my criticisms of rampant number-based cognitive science. Well… as they say, “it’s complicated”. Or, in the words of quantifier Dr. Luiz Pessoa (author of The Cognitive Emotional Brain):
Embrace complexity
