One of the unexpected benefits of switching my phone plan to something that includes unlimited international texting is that I can participate in nifty things like Experimonth, which is a month-long study about moods.

It might also be interesting to combine the happiness ratings with my time analyses to see if there any correlations.

Here are the results they’ve collected so far:
