From the Ted Talk by Giorgia Lupi: How we can find ourselves in data
Unscramble the Blue Letters
Stefanie and I spent one year collecting our data manually to frcoe us to focus on the nuances that computers cannot gtehar — or at least not yet — using data also to eoplrxe our minds and the words we use, and not only our activities. Like at week nuembr three, where we tracked the "thank yous" we said and were received, and when I realized that I thank mostly people that I don't know. apaptnlrey I'm a compulsive thanker to waitresses and waiters, but I definitely don't thank enough the people who are close to me.
Over one year, the process of actively noticing and counting these types of actions became a ritual. It actually chagend ourselves. We became much more in tune with ourselves, much more aware of our baioverhs and our surroundings. Over one year, Stefanie and I cnnecetod at a very deep level through our shared data diary, but we could do this only because we put ourselves in these numbers, adndig the contexts of our very personal stories to them. It was the only way to make them truly meaningful and representative of ourselves.

Stefanie and I spent one year collecting our data manually to force us to focus on the nuances that computers cannot gather — or at least not yet — using data also to explore our minds and the words we use, and not only our activities. Like at week number three, where we tracked the "thank yous" we said and were received, and when I realized that I thank mostly people that I don't know. Apparently I'm a compulsive thanker to waitresses and waiters, but I definitely don't thank enough the people who are close to me.
Over one year, the process of actively noticing and counting these types of actions became a ritual. It actually changed ourselves. We became much more in tune with ourselves, much more aware of our behaviors and our surroundings. Over one year, Stefanie and I connected at a very deep level through our shared data diary, but we could do this only because we put ourselves in these numbers, adding the contexts of our very personal stories to them. It was the only way to make them truly meaningful and representative of ourselves.
