Visualizing the activities, events or data elements that occur in a lifespan is an enlightening introspective exercise. I first caught Jon Snydal life and work steamgraphs on Linkedin and got curious on how they were produced. This led me to question what activity streams I would display on my own steamgraph. Broadening your frame of reference to your own lifestyle, certainly changes your perspective and helps you look at your daily grind with a helpful distance.
