Forgive me if this post makes no sense -- it's technical and I'm too new to this to be able to simplify it intelligently. I hope the gist of it comes across at least a bit and primes some interesting thinking in you.
I was introduced to Graph Databases yesterday by a really smart and expansive-thinking attendee of Kai's salon in Las Vegas --
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_database
My mind is on fire. I couldn't sleep last night. I'm really, really excited about this.
I track and capture a lot of data -- spend, calories, adherence to habits (I'm currently on Week 77 of tracking my habits on the Lights Spreadsheet, with only maybe 3-5 weeks disrupted in that timeframe), and lots more.
So how can I convert this all to a single thing, and then Zapier or IFTTT all the data together to look for correlations, to automatically notify colleagues when it makes sense to, etc?
I'm thinking text file + standard format of recording data, then Zapping or IFT'ing things into all the relevant other places.
This might be a good place for me to learn programming.
My first crack at thinking about this --
"TAGS -- FIRST GUESS
# — an activity. #journal, #fitness, #walk, #meditate, #admin, #speak, #network, #plan, etc.
! — emphatics. Recentering. Self-motivating. Etc.
@ — a significant thing. @goal, @project, @people
$ — success/win
% — current percentile health score, other status
& — environment-related effects"
And this morning so far --
"#journal 05:35

@goal set — eat only these foods for all of October: Oatmeal, Fruit, Tuna, Vegetables, Chicken, Eggs, Cheese, Oils, butter, spices, similar

Ok, if this post makes no sense -- umm, sorry! It's a really big deal though. I'm not sure I'm doing this right -- it seems too complicated, but maybe this is just the level of complexity of the world? Adherence is key, usability is key, consistency is key...
... anyway, it's still very much a work in progress, but this feels like a really big deal to me. Unification and correlation of everything. Get projects, contacts, results in there too. And then? Oh my. I'm maximally excited here.
