The radiators have not been on, and it has been freezing. I think I generally should have more focus periods at night during a normal week, but recently it’s been so cold that I climb into bed to work, and then I fall asleep.
I think it’s expected that there are more high-focus snowflakes on the dark side of the visualization: When I have a large block of uninterrupted time (after class vs. during the class day where there are only short periods I can do work), I experience more intense focus.
For the same reasons as above, snowflakes (focus periods) on the light side of the graph (during the class day) have fewer spokes (representing a shorter time period) than the focus periods on the dark side.
It is also interesting to notice that the times I classified as high-focus did not necessarily mean I used fewer apps.
On th flip side, the representation of focus periods with a smaller variety of apps used does not necessarily correlate to better focus.
A pattern I noticed was that if fewer apps were recorded (and the focus was not so great), there was a good chance I focused on using that app (instead of homework) and spent a great deal of time there (so total app usage time went up, but not necessarily the number of apps used).
My main messaging apps—Messages and Instagram—appear in most of my focus periods. I seem to always be texting no matter how focused I am.
