You don’t need a calendar to get value from the Readiness App

You can still build a meaningful, effective routine – without syncing a single event. Here’s how to do it.

Some people love syncing their calendar. Others don’t use one at all. And many use tools that aren’t supported by the Readiness App.

That’s okay.

You can still build a meaningful, effective routine – without syncing a single event. In fact, manual reflection is one of the most powerful ways to develop emotional readiness.

Here’s how to do it.

A simple rhythm for daily reflection

We recommend checking in with the Readiness App three times a day:

  • Morning – Before your workday starts

  • Midday – Before or after your lunch break

  • Evening – Before you turn off your computer or begin your bedtime routine

Each check-in only takes a few minutes. The goal is to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters.

Replay your day like a movie

Close your eyes if it helps. Think back on the last few hours. What happened? What stood out?

Notice the details:

  • Did the sun shine through your curtains?

  • How did your first cup of coffee taste?

  • What did you feel before your first task?

Log the key moments

You don’t need to track everything. Just focus on the most meaningful parts of your day. We recommend logging:

  1. Your sleep

  2. Your morning routine

  3. Your commute

  4. Your meetings

  5. 1–3 key tasks you worked on

  6. Your evening commute

  7. Movement, meditation, or anything “play”-related

Add tags and emotions

Finish each check-in by tagging your activities and noting how they made you feel. This helps you build emotional clarity over time.

Need different tags? Reach out to our support team – we’ll help you customize your experience.

Short on time? Try this focused flow

If three check-ins a day feels like too much, try this:

  • Choose 3 tags to focus on this week (e.g., “Meeting,” “Commute,” “Project-ID”)

  • Log in twice a day and track only those

  • Add one “flame” and one “heart” activity to your journal

  • Ask yourself: How did I feel? Write down what comes up

If you’ve recently completed a Readiness Q assessment, use tags that reflect the qualities you’re working on.

You’re in control

Whether you use a calendar or not, the Readiness App is here to support your growth. Manual reflection is not a workaround – it’s a core part of the journey.

Every day is a chance to practice. Start small. Stay consistent.
