Stephen Wolfram shares his personal analytics. Josh Rothman is impressed:

What strikes Wolfram most is how "shockingly regular" his schedule is — a choice on his part, he explains, because routine enables him "to be energetic—and spontaneous—about intellectual and other things." What strikes me is how hard he works: the probability that he will be on the phone talking to a colleague at 11 p.m. on a weekend is 50%.
