Habits
Habits are recurring behaviors you (or your clients) want to track week over week. They’re separate from the meal plan, exercise program, and check-in form — habits are their own simple completion log.
What a habit looks like
Each habit has:
- Name — short label (e.g. “Morning walk”, “8 hours sleep”, “Stretching”)
- Description (optional) — a longer explanation
- Category — fitness, nutrition, sleep, mindfulness, or other
- Frequency — daily, weekly, or custom
For custom frequencies, you pick either:
- Days per week — e.g. 3x per week, no specific days required
- Specific days — e.g. Mon/Wed/Fri only
Where habits show up
Habits surface in three places:
- Client check-in review — the Habits section in the check-in modal shows what the client logged for the week.
- Client analytics deep-dive — the Habits tab on a client’s analytics view (Analytics) shows long-running stats: average completion %, week-over-week trend, total weeks tracked.
- Client portal — clients see their active habits and check them off through their portal.
Habit analytics
For each habit, the analytics card shows:
- Average completion % — across all weeks tracked
- Completion trend — improving / declining / stable, based on recent weeks vs. baseline
- Total weeks tracked — how long the habit has been active
- Successful weeks — weeks where the habit hit its target frequency
The trend indicator is the fastest read for “is this habit working.” Improving means recent weeks are completing more than the baseline; declining means the opposite. Stable means it’s holding.
Self-coaching habits
In self-coaching mode, you (the user) manage your own habits — add, edit, archive — directly from your portal. The coach-side Habits view in the client detail shows the same data.
Configuring habits for clients
Coach-managed habits are configured per-client. Open a client’s detail page, find the habits section, and add the habits you want them to track. Adjust the frequency and category as needed; the change takes effect the next time the client opens their portal.
When to use habits vs. check-in custom fields
Two ways to track behaviors that aren’t in the standard check-in:
- Habits — for recurring behaviors with a frequency target. Best for “did you do X this week?”
- Check-in custom fields — for arbitrary questions or one-off measurements. Best for “rate Y on a scale of 1-10” or “tell me about Z.”
Use habits when you care about consistency over time. Use custom fields when you care about a specific weekly answer.
