This data is mainly drawn from a physical training spreadsheet. Not all of life is "training", but it gives a glimpse into this particular life. 

  • 122 days of explicitly non-work. Any kind of work counts as a day of work. And a day of work “counts” when the primary task for the daylight hours is in some kind of income generation. Freelancing and, new for 2020, landlording makes it tough to count “work days”, but I solved this problem with a daily check-in question: Was today a day of work? Check yes or no, and add ‘em up at the end of the year.
