Most users say the first 10 to 14 days are the hardest. Why? Because our days are shaped by routines. From brushing your teeth to checking your email, many daily actions run on autopilot. They are known as instrumental tasks – automatic habits that do not take much thought or effort.

The key to making emotional readiness part of your day is linking your check-ins with one of these existing habits. By anchoring your reflection in something you already do, the practice becomes simple, sustainable, and effective.


How to make it stick

Connect your Readiness app routine to your existing flow.

Start of your workday

Log in as soon as you power up your computer. Sync today’s calendar events and add anything else you remember. You can include how you felt waking up, your first cup of coffee, or your morning workout. Do all this before opening your first email.

Lunch break

Whether you are stepping out or taking a breather at your desk, use this time to log any meaningful activity. Notice what felt energizing or draining. Add a quick journal if something stood out.

End of day

Before you shut down, do one last check-in. Open the app and tag any remaining tasks. The smart filters help you move quickly. It is a great way to leave stress behind and close the workday with intention.

You do not need to change everything at once. Start with one habit and build from there. The goal is not perfection. It is presence.

What to expect

  • A stronger sense of calm and control during the day

  • More emotional clarity when it counts

  • Better communication and camaraderie with your team

  • A habit of reflection that supports both performance and wellbeing

Every day is a chance to practice. Start small. Stay consistent. The results speak for themselves.
