Habit check-in
Pick one small habit; it asks once a day whether you did it, checks the data itself where you've allowed it, and tells you each week how many days you managed.
Who it's for: People who make up their mind to start a habit and never manage to keep it going for long.
What it does:
- You pick one specific small habit, like walking 8,000 steps a day, going to bed before 11, or drinking 6 glasses of water.
- At the same time each day it asks whether you did it. For things like walking and sleep, where you've let it see your data, it checks for itself instead of asking.
- Every Sunday it tells you how many days you managed this week. If you missed 3 or more, it suggests making the habit smaller, and only changes it once you agree.
Why this one: Muse's App Store description says that whether it's running, eating better or building a habit, it coaches you through it. The 8.0 release notes also say that when you set a goal, it builds the plan and tracks progress.
Keep in mind: If you want it to check your steps and sleep itself, connect your health data to Muse first. Otherwise it will ask you every day.
Copy for your Muse
Help me build one habit: what the habit is and what time each day to ask me; ask me first about anything I haven't made clear. Each day at that time, ask me whether I did it today; if it's something like walking or sleep that I've let you see data for, check the data yourself instead of asking. Every Sunday evening, tell me how many days I managed this week; if I missed 3 or more days in a week, suggest making the habit smaller, and only change it once I've agreed. What to do: only read the activity and sleep data I've allowed you to use, note whether I did it each day, and write the weekly summary for me to see. What not to do: do not make medical diagnoses, do not sign me up for or book any class, and do not send my records to anyone. When to stop: stop when I say “stop the habit check-in”; if I haven't replied for 7 days in a row, ask me first whether to keep going.
