Thanks for sharing! This resonates strongly with me.
One thing I did (and fairly recently too: https://github.com/alefore/edge/commit/6e93c2bb327f57d13d067b5d2ae19720526bb799 https://github.com/alefore/edge/commit/6e93c2bb327f57d13d067... says just 10 days ago) is adjust my text editor (http://github.com/alefore/edge http://github.com/alefore/edge) to keep a log per file of all the operations I do on that file. I expect to use this to generate reports along the lines of "what files did I work on last Thursday", "how much active (for some definition) time have I spent modifying this file" or "on how many different days have I opened this file". Perhaps I'll also use this as a cluster to feed to the Bayesian filter ("I tend to edit file X whenever I edit file Y") that I use to optimize my autocomplete predictions/search history.
(I also plan to use this to see if I can find ways to optimize the types of transformations that I bind to my keys if I notice special patterns (e.g., when I do transformation X, I very frequently do transformation Y immediately after), but I haven't yet thought very much about how I'll do this.)
I'm somewhat curious as to how much value I'll actually derive from this. I tried the Quantified Self in the past but ... I think it suffers from the fact that reality tends to be too complicated to be predicted by ~simple models.
