I was finally accepted to http://daytum.com as a beta tester, and it would appear they are accepting new signups right now.

It lets you type in when you've done... stuff... and then makes pretty graphs from it all.

http://daytum.com/RussellC is my page. Obviously I had to add a month's worth of data, some of it from memory which took a couple of hours, but it's a pretty accurate account of 2009 so far.

Jesus. You would need an extra person following you around to note down everything you do and enter it into the website.

You mean you don't have a PA for this kind of stuff?

They just need to link this up with Twitter and then Graphy Gaywood would be in heaven.

Where's the segment for "Amount of time entering what I've done into Daytum"?

This is all rather baffling.

I have no need for something like this. This is the kind of thing I want to be able to see after I die. High scores more 'most Polos eaten', and such.

Er, I think the Day of Judgement is concerned with weightier matters.

Some guy used his daytum info to invoice some of the companies he used during a week period.

Quote:

Using the data collection website Daytum I recorded time (in minutes) and cost (in £ GBP) of all my interactions as a consumer. This included the odd five minutes for lunch every few days at my favourite salad stall on Goodge Street, to spending 45 minutes in Preston train station waiting for a connection. Yep, that's 45 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

The data's not perfect of course (eg. it's not automated based on GPS), and I rounded up/down as appropriate so that I didn't completely lose my sanity. But it provides a fascinating insight into how I live my life as a consumer, and which brands steal my attention.

What's more, with only a limited time of existence on this planet, it shows me whether I'm spending my time and money wisely as a consumer. And having invoiced the companies that claim my attention, I'll soon find out how much they respect the time I spend with their brand.

Pret-a-Manger paid up.

And very sensible, it may turn out to be a good piece of advertising.
I've invoiced him for £8.20 for the 9 minutes I spend reading his website. I suggest everyone else does the same.
