That's fine for your own domain, but I usually download my emails via IMAP and don't leave anything on the remote server. Finally, do you really keep your emails? Emails are ephemeral, often just informative, and if there's anything important, I process it and delete the email. I may archive 'sentimental' emails, but I rarely search the archive as I mainly delete emails.

I'm a ux designer, as well as a photographer and keen with data curation. I believe that currently there is nothing like this and in the past I tried to design my vision for this kind of product. I'd happy to design and build if someone with technical skills can help me with the tech stack.

Thank God I would say that we can finally drive without the stress of shifting gears. Please don't pass off the idea that driving a car with a transmission is a nostalgic, 'mind-opening' thing that makes man more man and less machine. I love my Prius since 2010 and am now super happy with my electric Hyundai <3 Bye bye gearbox

Thanks, and BTW I never asked about why I was downvoted. People downvote just because they don't like my question because it sounds controversial? It's fine. This obsession with quantifying everything - life,likes, views, karma, upvotes, downvotes, page view, fitness data,health data - is typical of the mentality of the Lords of Silicon Valley. Thank you Morozov for enlightening me.

I have argued my question and told you my opinion on self logging and quantified self. I don't understand what else I should be asking. I personally am a strong advocate of note-taking and agree with your post above. I myself have collected notebooks, and now they rest on a shelf gathering dust since I don't do anything with them except flip through them for nostalgia and look at my drawings/sketches. I use Obsidian to collect the information I'm interested in and try to connect them together and I can research and connect the dots to form new ideas and I find the value in just connecting the ideas. Collecting and not using notes can be as therapeutic as those notebooks with mandalas to color.

Is a genuine question. I wanted to know what he collected that was important in 100 notebooks. He links the Wikipedia article on 'quantified self' where it says that “[…]with the goal of improving physical, mental, and emotional performance. "

I just wanted to know if there was one thing that was worth doing all this for, because my opinion is that logging your data -quantitative data- doesn't make you better. That's all.

I'm wondering if OP is able to make good use of all this 'self-logging' and find something interesting in these 100 notebooks. Is there anything worth having written ~1 page a day for, or not?
