Working with reflection in the form of recurring recaps at work is an insightful and effective way to increase someone's learning experience and overall growth.
MUA makes it easy for teams to implement weekly recaps in their routine and to learn and grow together. In this article, we show you how.

How to Use Them in a Weekly Practice
A popular and easy way to implement "Thursday Questions" is during your weekly "end of the week meeting", ideally at the end of the workweek (Thursdays, for example :)).
Example of a meeting agenda, including "Thursday Questions":
Brief welcome
Setting time limits and expectations
Kicking off with sharing their "Thursday Questions"
Finishing up the meeting
The Thursday Questions template enhances your meetings' effectiveness by prompting reflective thinking and helps new users to connect MUA and its benefits with their weekly wrap-up.
Include the MUA Journal
The MUA Journal is the ideal space to paste the template each time. We encourage all users to start daily journaling – "Thursday's Questions" is a great way to familiarize yourself and your team with it.
Make It Your New Routine
We recommend making these meetings and journal check-ins a weekly or even daily habit, depending on your team's needs. As usual, if you have questions on how to use MUA with your team, reach out to our Happiness Team at any time.
