Logging Every Minute for Nine Years and Using Claude Code to Plan My Days

I have logged every minute of my life since December 2017, about 79,000 entries so far. I run four companies, from delivery logistics to knowledge-base software. This year I moved those spreadsheets into Well Lived, an app I built and have in beta at welllived.io, and put Claude Code on top of it. This is for anyone who wants a daily and weekly loop that adjusts how they spend their time. 1. Log as I go. Whenever I switch activities, I type or say what I did, with a note about how it went or what I learned. Well Lived turns that into entries with times, project, and how drained or energized I felt, from -10 to +10. 2. Each morning, before planning anything, Claude reads my inboxes, summarizes each email, and numbers it with a recommendation: draft a reply, make a task, or archive. 3. The plan is saved to a file, and the script that changes my inbox can only run what is in that file. Every change asks for my Mac password, so I have to be at my desk, but it is more secure. 4. Every morning, Claude reads yesterday's log, last night's notes, my calendars, and today's ClickUp tasks, then puts the most important task in my first block. 5. Each night I rate the day against my values. On Sunday, Claude compares where my hours went with what I said I wanted and makes a small change. This summer the log showed music had dropped to about 12 minutes a week. I knew I wanted more time for it, but seeing that number every Sunday is what finally got me to change it. The last three weeks averaged 7.7 hours of music. What I'd do differently: save every recommendation to a file from day one. Early on, Claude acted from its memory of a long conversation, and that memory drifted. If you're starting out, build the habit slowly. Logging is helpful, but the regular reviews are what make the data impactful in your life.
