I think the bottom line is I need one app for things other people want me to do (calendar/email) and one app for things I want to do (reminders/todo).

I've found putting things that I *want* to do in my calendar has an opposite effect and I end up not doing it. So for those kinds of things I use Todo/Reminders apps that are pinned to specific dates/time so they pop up like a calendar (but not on my calendar). 🤷🏻‍♂️

What are the biggest **empirical** successes of “multivariate statistics”? Should be fields/industries that a built around them. Eg: pageRank in web search factor modeling in finance phylogenetic reconstruction in evolution These are currently my best examples. What else?

I'm experimenting with data from the World Cube Association (www.worldcubeassociation.org/export/results). Not sure about causal inference but maybe prediction. Data is very clean and requires merging across tables.

I really like my Nissan Leaf. Newer models have better range, but it's perfect for getting around town.
