![My tracked time summary for the month of October, 2021](https://storage.ghost.io/c/db/90/db90e17a-b0ed-4eb3-8db1-a5b434dbead1/content/images/numericcitizen.me/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/thismonth.png)

My tracked time summary for October 2021

I love statistics and numbers as well as doing some introspection on my habits, [my workflows](https://world.numericcitizen.io/content-creator-workflow-update-as-of-2023-11?ref=numericcitizen.me), [the tools I use and potential optimizations of them](https://numericcitizen.io/?ref=numericcitizen.me). So here are a few interesting numbers coming out of [my time tracking](https://numericcitizen.me/2021/09/19/why-and-how-im-tracking-time-with-toggl/) for the month of October 2021\. The following charts are summaries of my tracked time by device type.

I wouldn’t read too much into these numbers, yet quite a few interesting observations can be drawn from these numbers.

- The MacBook Air is my preferred device for anything (before, it was a split between my M1 Mac mini and my iPad Pro). So, I was right in buying a MacBook Air: read “[Coming Out of a Rabbit Hole and Buying Two MacBook Air](https://numericcitizen.me/2021/09/01/coming-out-of-a-rabbit-hole-and-buying-two-macbook-air/)”.
- The Mac mini and MacBook Air are multi-purposes devices. Consequently, usage is spread out over many tasks and activities where publishing is taking a big portion of the time I spend on these devices.
- My iPhone is often used for Twitter consumption. Surprisingly, I’m also reading quite a lot on the iPhone. Thanks to [Matter](https://getmatter.app/?ref=numericcitizen.me).
- My usage of the iPhone is low compared to other devices as I’m commuting for my work only once a week. Time spent in public transportation is a prime moment for using the iPhone. But, it’s a thing of the past, it’s the new normal for me.
- The iPad is mostly used for reading and YouTube videos consumption. That’s not really surprising, right?
- I’m probably spending too much time on Twitter and could reduce this if I was more disciplined with [my Mailbrew usage](https://app.mailbrew.com/apple%5Fobserver?ref=numericcitizen.me).
- About 90% of my time is spent as follow: publishing 35%, reading 30%, and 24% on social networks. The rest of my tracked time is spread among different less important activities.
- The following diagram shows how skewed my tracked time is towards the MacBook Air.

Those numbers were obtained with Toggl and Timery. Please, consider reading [how I am tracking my time](https://numericcitizen.me/2021/09/19/why-and-how-im-tracking-time-with-toggl/). Charts were created with release 1.3 of Timery.
