How are weekly prompts different from daily check-ins?

Daily check-ins track immediate emotional states; weekly prompts ask you to synthesize the week's data, identify patterns, and assess progress on specific EQ development areas.

What topics should weekly prompts cover?

Address your biggest trigger that week, situations where you regretted your response, moments you felt truly competent socially, and progress on your chosen EQ development goal.

How detailed should weekly reflections be?

Five to ten minutes of writing provides rich data without becoming burdensome. Bullet points work well; you're capturing insights, not writing essays.

Will I see patterns within the first month?

Yes. Most people identify at least three clear emotional patterns—recurring triggers, relationship dynamics, or response tendencies—within four weekly reflections.
