How me we works
Three steps, a few minutes a day.
Check in
Ten quick questions about how you are right now.
See your bigger picture
After four check-ins, you can see the parts of your capacity that are strong and the ones running low.
Pick focus areas
Choose a few small things to practise, five days at a time.
Each check-in gives your bigger picture more to go on than the last. The longer you keep checking in, the closer your focus areas fit what builds your capacity.
One of the ten questions asks how much is on your plate. Tap one square a day, on any five days.
Why small habits. Research shows small habits like these can build positive mental health over weeks.
