Hi Hugo. I found your website while doing some research on measuring and tracking all aspects of health for our own website. We deal with physical, financial and mental health, so there’s a lot to consider. It became clear that health, wellbeing, wellness, happiness etc were all interlinked. As part of that, coming at it from the mental health side led to measuring happiness. Hence to your site. Like you, we believe measuring is key. Downloaded the template and will make a start.

It’s fun to know that fellow data nerds abound in the world! My name is Sara and I am also obsessed with data (you have to measure what you treasure) and tinkering toward contentment. Thanks for putting yourself out there, Hugo!

Hi Tim,

It’s really amazing to read your comment! Thanks. I am really happy that you enjoy the content on this website. It started over 2 years ago as a personal blog, but slowly developed to what it is today, similarly to the way that I’ve developed personally. 🙂 To think that I could inspire you is just an amazing thought. So thanks again for sharing. Also, what a coincidence that we share so much of our hobbies!

If you’re ever interested in sharing your experiences here on this website via a guestpost, I’d be thrilled to have you.

All the best,

Hugo

Hi Hugo,
I started this journey of being self-aware 4-5 years back. But only recently could I really grab hold of myself and make some good leaps forward. For the past couple of months, I have been actively looking to define my purpose, for example, one of my purposes was “I want to have more good days than bad days in the long run”. So, I would align all my actions around it. But I always felt that there was something missing. There was no juice in it as such.

But then, I found your website. You are like 10 steps ahead of who I am right now and really want to be!! I am a Mathematics and computing graduate. I discovered running (minimum 10km per week) as a source of happiness as part of my journey, too. I am a great believer in metrics too, so I tried logging rating on how aware I was the whole day. But, I did not persevere. As a kid, I was always strongly aligned towards music (drummer) and wished to compose music at some point. Your journey has given me a reference point on how I can probably frame my life of happiness. I really enjoyed everything about this website :). Thanks a lot.

In reply to Evgeniy. Hi Evgeniy! Thanks for replying and letting me know! I saw your comment on the about page and replied to it. Didn't you get a notification for the reply? That would be a technical error on my end, sorry! My advice is to not worry too much about the happiness scale and ratings in the beginning! Just start rating your happiness daily, and you will soon figure out which scale works best for you! Using fractions in happiness ratings is always good to track subtle differences in happiness between days. It's very nice to meet you! So you are a jedi at getting things done, eh? :) That sounds awesome. You previously said you wanted to start tracking your happiness. I was wondering if you had actually started and want to ask you about your experiences? If you're still tracking, I'd love to hear about it! :)

Hi, Hugo

Nice to meet you! Your work and passion about the happiness are worth of respect! Thanks for this! And for templates of measuring happiness also.

I mailed you week or more ago through your website and link in one of introduction emails, but wouldn’t get response, please check.

My simple answer was about grade (marks of happiness), I can’t distinguish in 10 points grade the level of happiness from 7 to 8, or 5 from 7. What is your system in practicing this?

As for me. I’m a regular white-collar work for a medium advertising agency in IT department. But I’m a jedi of GTD-techniques and process/life optimization guy.
