How I harvested my data (a self-scrape using IFTTT)

The breakdown of my 13 and a half hours of media consumption over 6 days revealed some interesting patterns.

– I listen to a heck of a lot of podcasts. Well, I used to work in public radio. They’re incredibly efficient at giving me news. (No click bait and barely any ads)

– The only entertainment media I consumed was music and that was 22% of my consumption.

– My breakdown of news by language was interesting. 25% in a foreign language. I’ve been reading a lot more Brazilian outlets since my trip there.

– My week is interesting to look at. I consumed the most on Friday and on Monday. Monday I know was because I spent lots of time walking and at the gym–so lots of podcasts. Friday I can’t think of anything besides a lot of free time to sit around and surf the Internet and read.

– Most articles came from Feedly, most radio from NPR/PRI. Seems about right.
