I haven’t. I’d actually be a little more interested in trying some randomized experiments; with correlations it’s so hard to know if there’s really a common cause.
If this experiment in what makes you happy is a) not turning up interesting correlations, b) takes time out of your day to log and curate, and c) is actively making you unhappy, then why are you still doing it? It seems like the one singular result is that doing the research is bad for your personal well being. If I were you I’d cut it out of my life right now.
In general the more data I have the more useful it gets. I don’t think it makes me much less happy, and it doesn’t take very much time, so I’m willing to pay those small costs to keep the data analysis options open.
Have you found any interesting correlations?
