I've been meaning to do this for a while. Do I need to say I have an addictive personality?
Somebody stage an intervention (after City Nature Challenge 2018, anyway)
Update: I used the iNat export feature (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/export) to make a really quick observation vs time graph and it's essentially the same!:

This is hilarious! I am also concerned about my own health and well-being. I don't believe I can help you with the intervention...
This is neat! How'd you export the data? The best way I can tell is the calendar view of your observations, but I don't see an easy way to convert that into a table.
holy moly!
@hydaticus There are much easier ways to do it than I did. There’s a csv export link at the bottom of each page listing your observations. Wouldn’t be hard to do that and make a histogram by date and add a column for cumulative count.
In my case, I have a big final report due tomorrow for phase I of a huge customer project (the single largest invoice my company has sent out! And I got to be project manager!), so I iust manually counted them and typed in the numbers for 30-day periods. Easy for months with a couple hundred observations, I just counted the number of pages and multiplied by 200. Took me a little while. Was a nice break after 9 hours of frantically scrambling to prep samples to ship out today.
My trick was I sorted by “date added” not date observed. I have added a few things from before iNat and wanted to get a snapshot of what my observation count was at any given time, not which days I saw things.
Nice, I was thinking that I would have to count them manually to get the data. I figured no one would be crazy enough to do that, haha. It sounds easier than I anticipated, though.
I did the csv data export and made a histogram. For the most part the data is the same, but I didn't export "date created" and had selected "date observed". I got the histogram made within 10 minutes of downloading the data, so that's probably a better option than what I did :X. I'll add the histogram to the post so you can see the data. Let me know if you need help with Excel.

When we have the intervention, can we go outside and make observations during the breaks?
I think my intervention needs to be another bioblitz!
Wooo hooo! BioBlitz at your intervention!!! ;) We can invite lots of iNatters.
