Can we get a correlation matrix? That would be the most insightful thing to gain from this, IMO?

I just did a quick one and there aren't any real surprises. Most interesting was probably the correlation between volunteering and a lack of sleep! It is hard to include all the metrics, as half of them aren't numerical ones. But I'll probably try to do a more in-depth one some day.

you can encode binary as 0 / 1 or -1/+1. There are specific correlation methods for binary data (e.g. MCC), but Spearman or even Pearson Correlation will probably work just fine.

On a non-technical note: I kind of almost expected mood to be correlated with weather :D

There was a small correlation between mood and weather! Not a big one though, as I guess it is the day to day events that really make you happy or sad.

But thank you, I will need to go through it and do a proper matrix soon!
