Getting Started
Welcome to Bounded Self
Your dashboard is your daily command centre. It surfaces the metrics that matter most so you can understand where your energy goes and make deliberate choices about how you spend it.
What you'll see on the dashboard- Daily stats – a quick count of today's entries, energy gained, and energy spent.
- Habit goal progress – a ring that fills as you log entries toward your daily target.
- Insights card – compares today's numbers against your 7-day average with trend arrows.
- Energy trend chart – a 7-day area chart showing gains versus expenses by day.
- Category breakdown – a donut chart showing which categories consumed the most energy.
- Mood distribution – your mood patterns throughout the day.
- Time-of-day chart – energy use across morning, afternoon, evening, and night.
- Today's entries – a chronological list of everything you've logged so far.
- Log consistently. The more entries you create, the richer your insights become. Even a single entry per day is a great start.
- Set a habit goal. During onboarding you chose a daily entry target. Your dashboard tracks progress toward that goal.
- Check your trends. The 7-day chart helps you spot patterns – for example, weekdays that consistently drain you or weekends that restore you.
If you upgrade to a premium plan, your dashboard also shows an Energy Budget widget with your weekly budget status, remaining allowance, and a progress bar.
