Love Credits(#9 Data Portrait) 🐈

Description

Q: What was the personal habit you were trying to track?
A: During the 7 days of Thanksgiving week, how many times I rubbed each cat everyday.

Q:An instruction for the viewers on how to read your data portrait?
A: The number of hearts above each cat is the times that I left what I was doing and went to rub/caress/kiss the cat.

Design Process

Q: Describe your design process. Include your spreadsheet data and any other sketches or images that would help us better understand your process.
A: 1. Everyday, record the day number and wrote down the two cats' names in separate rows for recording data.
2. Each time I left what I was doing and went to the cat, I marked one sign under the cat's name. "g" for Mr. Grey, and "b" for Ms.Hei(Hei = Black in Chinese).

🐱 RUB ME


Reflection

1. Most of time, (when I'm not crazily busy)I got distracted from study/work because of my cats. I need to find a better balance between caring them and managing my time for work.

2. When I got busy, I tend to ignore them too much.

3. During day3 and day6, it seemed that I no longer loved them that much since the hearts were way less than the other days. But in fact, I loved them as I always do, the reason why the data looks that way was because I was crazy about my work during that time.
As a result, what was gained was that I realized that I need a better time management, and what is lost was the fact that caused the data to decline. Turning behaviors into flat data can sometimes be misleading. It hides some leading factors.
