Personal Operations Dashboard (Raspberry Pi)

Status: 🚧 Work in Progress

If I’m going to help companies optimize their operations, I should probably optimize my own life first. This dashboard runs 24/7 on a Raspberry Pi 4 in my apartment.

What I Track

Work Metrics

• GitHub commits per week
• Emails sent/received (Gmail API)
• Calendar utilization (% of week in meetings)
• Job applications submitted

Health & Habits

• Daily steps (Apple Health sync)
• Workout sessions logged
• Days since last music production session
• Books finished this month

Finance

• Monthly spending by category (Plaid API)
• Budget vs. actual
• Net worth trend

Tech Stack (Planned)

• Hardware: Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB RAM)
• OS: Raspberry Pi OS Lite (headless)
• Database: SQLite (local storage)
• Dashboard: Grafana (web interface)
• Data Collection: Python scripts + cron jobs
• APIs: Gmail, Google Calendar, GitHub, Apple Health, Plaid

Why This Matters

You can’t improve what you don’t measure. By tracking my own productivity and habits, I’m applying the same operational rigor I bring to companies.

Personal insight: Discovered I’m 3x more productive on days with <4 hours of meetings. Now I block “focus time” aggressively.
