Using a (stochastic) time tagger has not worked for me. Apparently I'm not compulsively checking my phone enough. I miss lots of pings.
At first I thought I could just build enough habit. Didn't work.
Then I thought just enough data would solve it. Until I noticed that there are times where I don't reliably track as realiably as in other times (e.g. at home when the phone is out of earshot).
Then I thought I could salvage pings by smartly analysing them - evaluating tags relativ to the hour they come it thus compensating high-miss times. Until I realized that they correlate with the type of tag.
Then I gave up.
The last use of the ping right now is to remind me of writing this post.
There is an interesting missing data problem here. Not necessarily unsolvable either. A lot of causal inference stuff is precisely dealing with this kind of data.
Sorry it didn't work out for you.
It seems like such a brilliant idea, and it doesn't work for me either. I still use it occasionally when there's something important I want to randomly self-sample for a few days, but I quickly train myself to ignore pings and alarms after a while.
