A list of 15 activities (e.g. gaming, reading, eat out, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Every day, before going to bed I open the app and with a handful of clicks I select how I felt overall and which activities I did during the day. This takes less than one minute. On bad days it feels kinda cathartic.<\/p>\n
This is my method. Find your balance between convenience<\/em> and precision<\/em>. If you go for convenience, take note of how you felt in general and which events made you feel that way. If you go for precision, you write down how each particular event made you feel.<\/p>\n\nConvenience<\/strong> example: Today, no particular event had a strong emotional influence in me. In general, I felt good, so I’ll grade it as \u201cgood\u201d and list the activities that I’ve done (work, exercise, read book).<\/p>\nPrecision<\/strong> example: The day had a bad start, due to a horrible nightmare. I went out to take some photos, but nothing special happened. In the evening I watched a hilarious movie. So I’ll add three lines for today, one with “awful” for the event “nightmare,” another line with “meh” for “hobby,” and finally “great” for “movie”.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nMy total moods during a full year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHere’s why I like this app so much:<\/p>\n
\nI don’t forget to journal, because every day I get one notification. I set the time to 9pm<\/li>\n If, somehow, I forget a day, it breaks my daily streak and there’s no way I’ll let that happen!<\/li>\n It takes me less than 60 seconds and 6 clicks to journal a day<\/li>\n Everything is customisable: activities, moods, icons and colours<\/li>\n Patterns and insights are calculated automatically: mood counts like \u201cyou felt great X times,\u201d activity counts like \u201cyou had nightmares X times,\u201d \u201cyour happiest day of the week is X,\u201d \u201cwhen you feel awful it’s often due to X\u201d.<\/li>\n The insights are grouped by month, year or activity and they are displayed in beautiful and intuitive charts.<\/li>\n Your data never leaves your device (optionally, you can use your Google Drive for backups)<\/li>\n All this is free<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWith this data I was able to figure out what lifts me up (e.g., playing games with friends) and what drags me down (e.g., family drama). Find yours.<\/p>\n
Here are some examples:<\/p>\nThe app tells you your average mood per day of the week. Also tells you what activities you usually do when you feel a particular mood.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe app is also useful to track habits, like how many times you did a particular activity during the year, per month. In this example you can see I play games less frequently during the Summer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThis is probably the coolest feature of the app. It tells you the effect of a particular activity on your mood. For example “eating out” boost my mood by 25%. Now that’s a very interesting insight!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAnd every year you get your “year in pixels”, a visual representation of how you felt throughout the year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nI hope the examples above showcase the usefulness of this habit\/app.<\/p>\n
