A description of your Data Portrait. What was the personal habit you were trying to track?
I tracked everything I did in the past ten days and categorized them into 8 main parts:

- Freetime: Rest, Read, Do nothing...
- Social: With friends, Meet people,..
- FIT: Do sports
- Waste: A Waste of Time
- Commute: On a kind of transportation
- Accident: Things that I didn't expect to happen, for example going to hospital, doing others a favor...
An instruction for the viewers on how to read your data portrait.
One round stands for one day (24 hours). There're ten circles, therefore each representing one day in the past ten days. Every color stands for one category.
Design Process
This assignment could be divided into two parts:
1. Data Collection
I always have a habit of tracking what I did in a day. So the data would be easy to get.
Also I get inspiration from creative routines of the best-recognized creative people around the world. Part of my goal is to compare how my routines differ from theirs.
2. Data Visualization
Raw Data:
Processed Data:
Reflection

What was gained / lost through the process of data visualization?My privacy was lost, but a sense of self-recognition was gained.
