How to read your Today's Read

Read your Today’s Read from the top: the state of your day and the dial, your answers, then Today, Why and What to expect, which lead to What now, your one move for the day. If the day changes, the ⋯ menu lets you refresh the read or start over.

The parts of the read, from the top

• The state of your day. The date and the reading time, the name of today’s state with one short line under it, and a dial. The dial runs from Overloaded through Stretched and Balanced to Recovered, with a score out of 100. The further right it sits, the more room the day has. Under it, one sentence describes the day and a second gives the evidence.
• Your answers. This morning’s answers as a table. Once you have answered on three of the last fourteen days, a grid of those two weeks appears under it.
• Today. Goals with a deadline close by, and anything the read noticed across your data, such as a goal with no progress for several days. A finding only appears where two sources agree.
• Why. The cause of today’s state, in full.
• What to expect. One sentence on the shape of the day, then the week ahead: today’s tasks planned, done and open, the tasks due on each of the next seven days, and the deadlines by name.
• The pattern underneath. What keeps repeating in your recent reads. In your first days it says it is still learning your rhythm.
• What now. The one move for today, then Working in your favour, something you can use, and whether yesterday’s move held.
• For your journal. One question to think about. Write about it opens a new journal entry with that question as its title.

Everything above What now is the reasoning that leads to it. A part with nothing to say does not appear.

Refresh or start over

Tap ⋯ at the top right of the read:

• Quick Refresh keeps your answers and reads your data again, for example after a meeting moved or you closed a task. It takes about half a minute. You can use it three times a day, at least an hour apart. Between uses, the row is greyed out.
• Start over replaces the read and starts again from the first question. You can do this once a day.
• About Today’s Read explains what the read is built from.
• Report response lets you report a read that got something wrong.

After a Quick Refresh, a line at the top says “Updated just now, with the signals since this morning”.
