I just made a short poll here, to better estimate both how often LW-ers have akrasia, and what it correlates with (e.g., decision fatigue); please take it if you have a few minutes.
I’m interested in analyzing a Google spreadsheet like this one is linked to. I use a form like this for a daily self-survey. Are there any tricks you know of to analyze the data on these things bit more effectively than just reading through them? The charts feature on Google Docs seems a little weak.
BTW, filled out the survey. It’s nice but the last ‘blank field’ type question is a duplicate.
This is a great question. A quick guide (or link to one) on how to do easy journaling/analysis using Google Docs or similar simple tools would be great. I just started a food/biojournal myself. There’s probably one or more out there in the self-analysis literature, but I haven’t seen it much discussed here.
There were plans to check this but people never got around to it.

Edited to add: poll results now here.
For one of the questions, it will tend to help to know that Less Wrong began about 30 months ago.

I’ll just be importing the data into Matlab, which has nice data analysis tools.

I have the data from the LW-ers, and have done most of the analysis, but it would aid interpretation to have a “control group”.
Just posted to Reddit; should have data with control group analysis writtten up in a couple days, if Redditors in fact fill it out.
Any update on this?
Argh, pressed “return” in one of the form boxes and accidentally submitted the form early.
If I am currently a U.K. undergraduate, what was my college G.P.A.?
Good question; please leave questions blank if they don’t apply to you, such as that one.
Oh, ok. (For some reason I thought the answer to that question involved time travel.)
Also, “What’s your present income, in dollars per year?” is repeated twice, once with the GPA subheading.
Thanks; fixed.
