Logging Since February 2010, Villarroel has been lifelogging. He does this by writing what he is currently doing and where he is located in a notebook, at intervals from about 15 to 30 minutes. He also records his movements with a fitness tracker. An example of a log entry he wrote is "I woke up at 05:45 in a hotel in Sweden. My hind leg muscles were hurting a bit." He wore it for most of the day, but took it off in private moments such as in the bedroom. Some examples of memories he has captured includes when his father died, and when his son was born. He said that while some people could be uncomfortable around the camera, most were supportive of it. He stopped using it after a few years due to difficulty keeping track of the amount of photos it took.

Personal life Both of Villarroel's parents are psychologists. Villarroel is married, and has five children.
