Since 2006, I have made use of a service that keeps track of all of the songs I listen to on my devices (computers, tablets, phone). I am guessing this captures 95% or so of everything I hear. The year by year summary chart offers an interesting way of understanding my life. You see a fairly large decrease in songs heard in 2014 and then a reversal this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was working, I would start my computer in the office in the morning and turn on the music. I would turn off the computer when I went home and then turn it back on when I read or wrote in the evening. I retired in 2014. I have continued to spend time reading on a device and writing, but not at the same level. I traveled more and I spent time doing other things. You can see that 2020 was a year not like the others. We did go to Hawaii, but then came home two weeks early and were far less mobile from that time until now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will this chart look like next year at this time. A couple more month of the same and then hopefully life will change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For anyone who is interested in the data generated by your musical tastes, check out last.fm<\/a>. It is interesting to track changing trends in your musical tastes, your all-time favorites, and comparisons to the others who use the service. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
