Current status: Not being done actively, so a backlog is accumulating. I plan to resume recovery of this around March/April 2021.
Total estimate: 2 to 4 hours per week
Commits: https://github.com/vipulnaik/donations/commits
Regular tasks:
- Update Open Phil grantees (once per week). Can the frequency be changed? Changing the frequency doesn't affect the amount of work, except switching costs. At weekly frequency, switching costs are a small enough fraction of actual work.
Frequently occurring tasks:
- Update grantee information for other donors.
- Add some other documents as I notice them.
- Coordinate improvements made by Issa and update live database to reflect those improvements
Currrent status: Following the plan as stated here, roughly. I expect the kind of work to change around April 2021 once Sebastian is caught up with the current round of data entry work.
Total estimate: 1 to 2 hours per month
Frequently occurring tasks:
- Keep an eye on Sebastian's work at https://github.com/riceissa/aiwatch/commits/sebastian and ask and answer questions.
Forthcoming!
Total estimate: 3 to 5 hours per month

-
Monthly update for Issa: This usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes of my time, plus some time of Issa's sending me his hours and date ranges per task.
-
Monthly update for Sebastian: I finalize timeline payments tentatively made during the month during this time. This usually takes 30 to 45 minutes of my time.
-
Review and tentative pending payments for completed timelines and expansions: This can take 1 to 3 hours per month depending on the completion schedule of timelines.
Total estimate: 20 minutes every 3 months. Work done every 3 months, to add in data for the 3 most recent montths into bart.vipulnaik.com
In theory this could be done monthly; however, given the low traffic to this site, I have decided to just update once every 3 months.

Commits: https://github.com/vipulnaik/bart/commits
Total estimate: 10 minutes per month, or a little over 2 minutes per week on average. Work done once a month, to update month information and start jobs to populate data for most recent month
Commits: https://github.com/vipulnaik/wikipediaviews/commits
Can the frequency be changed? I'd like to do the updates monthly to make the site maximally useful.
Total estimate: 10 minutes every 2 months, or a little over 1 minutes per week on average.
Can the frequency be changed? We can go to close to 3 months, but that might be cutting it close if there are genuine renewal issues.
Current status: I expect to pick this up in 2021, likely after finances/taxes!
Total estimate: Variable, can be 1-2 days a year on average. Many pieces of the task need concentrated time.
Can the frequency be changed? Currently we have no fixed frequency, and it is flexible to the specific needs/urgency of the time.

Commmits: https://github.com/vipulnaik/diet-exercise-health/commits
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, I have been recording at all trips outside the house that involve interactions with others at https://github.com/vipulnaik/diet-exercise-health/blob/master/notes/2020-coronavirus-activity-tracker.md I update this after every such trip; there are between 5 and 10 such updates each month.
I also update https://github.com/vipulnaik/diet-exercise-health/blob/master/sql/supplements.sql whenever I finish a supplement bottle; this happens around once a month.
Curent status: Active
Total estimate: 15 minutes to 1 hour per month
Commits: https://github.com/vipulnaik/entertainment-and-self-education/commits
I record in https://github.com/vipulnaik/entertainment-and-self-education/blob/master/sql/consumption.sql the completion of video consumptions including MasterClass, Viki, Netflix, and YouTube (excluding watching/rewatching songs). The amount recorded per month can vary widely; the range of time accounts for that variance.
Current status: Active
Total estimate: 1 hour per month, plus an extra hour per quarter and some further work at year-end (not quantified yet)
Commits: https://github.com/vipulnaik/personal-finances/commits
At the beginning of each month, I update my balances for the end of the previous month in https://github.com/vipulnaik/personal-finances/blob/master/sql/balances.sql; evey quarter, I update accrued expenses in https://github.com/vipulnaik/personal-finances/blob/master/sql/accrued_expenses.sql though I sometimes update some accrued expenses more frequently.
Current status: Active
Total estimate: 10 minutes per week
Commits: https://github.com/vipulnaik/daily-updates/commits/master/sql/day_summaries.sql
Every week, I update day summaries for the previous week at https://github.com/vipulnaik/daily-updates/blob/master/sql/day_summaries.sql so that https://updates.vipulnaik.com/ has the new data. This process takes about 10 minutes.
I haven't been doing this regularly, in a disciplined fashion. I expect it to take about 20 minutes per week on average, with some fluctuation. There may be a few hours of work catching up to the historically accumulated error reports
