Some thoughts:
* Interesting and very precise measurement of daily email flow, meetings, and phone calls.
* Found the consistency of his late night schedule and the
exponentially decreasing length of his phone calls interesting. It’s also interesting how working on his book affected all of this.
* He felt that this form of personal quantification was a bit more useful currently than his personal genome and I’m inclined to agree.
