Reflection
It is always important to reflect so as to achieve a better self. Here I reflect on the process.
Did I suceed
Yes
Despite failing the numerical standards:
- My week average sleep score did increase and form a stable trend.
- I generally feel more refreshed and concious
So the purpose was fufilled.
Why I Succeeded
- I had a clear goal to follow
- I had clear deadlines and multiple relevant subtasks
- I recorded data so it was possible to adjust live
- Checkpoint 3 (game time fix and piano practice time fix) is the most succesful.
This shows that my problem is still in time management
What I Did Well
I adhered to deadlines. Well, I did the tasks even if its a bit raced
I measured data and didn’t lose any of it. This made it easy to analyze my results and to adjust live.
What I Can Do Better
I didn’t consider many external factors (like sickness, in my case) that impact sleep score.
Some sub-tasks were written in a way that allowed “cheating” on quantity. Yet this is disputable—since making a plan too rigid reduces flexibility in case of unexpected events.
Other Problems I've discovered
(irrelevant to the project itself)
- Garmin smartwatch re-registers the user when connected to a new phone. This was the direct cause of data desync during the first week. I was forced to flip through backup photos instead of using Garmin Connect to extract data directly.
- Screen time records can be improved. Current graphs show total usage per hour (e.g., “30 minutes between 7–8”), but don’t reveal distribution within that window—it could be 30 continuous minutes or scattered seconds. A better visulization (for example, timeline color-coded with the app), will make it easier to find actual screentime patterns.
