What is Journey and How to Use It?
Journey provides two key services: guided, interactive journaling and personalized, actionable messages, which we refer to as ‘nudges’.
- How It Works: Start receiving nudges based on your Journey Traveler Profile. Your nudges are crafted with your personal & professional goals, personality type, time preferences and success indicators in mind.
- Interactive Learning: Your interactions with Journey including feedback and responses help Journey learn and adapt, providing more personalized future suggestions.
1. Weekly Intention Setting
- How to Use: At the beginning of the week, Journey sends you a list of intentions you can set based on your profile. You can either reply with the letter associated with the intention or type your intention if it’s not listed.
Example:
Good morning, Traveler. Reflect on your wins and learnings from last week. Then, share your intention for the week ahead.
A. Self-Care 😌
B. Big Picture Thinking 🖼️
C. Physical Well-Being 🏋️
D. Active Listening👂
E. Mindfulness 🧘♀️
Reply with the letter(s)
Example Response: “A, C” or “Journey, my intention this week is to be present with family.”
- Outcome: Journey stores your intention and uses it to send relevant nudges that week.
2. Personalized, Context-Aware Chat
- How to Use: Provide context to Journey about your daily experiences or challenges.
- Example: “Journey, I’ve been struggling with time management at work lately.” or “Journey, I have a deadline coming up and I’m feeling nervous that I won’t get it done in time.”
- Outcome: Receive strengths-based, context-aware support for time management.
3. Giving Feedback on Nudges
- How to Use: React to nudges to refine your Journey experience.
- Example: “React to the message with a ❤️ or 👍 on the nudge or reminder itself or reply with, “yesterday’s meditation nudge was really helpful.”
- Outcome: Journey learns to send you more of what you like and less of what you don’t.
4. Create Your Own Nudges
- How to Use: Create your own nudges using the “Echo” command.
- Example: “Echo: Remember to Facetime mom every night.”
- Outcome: Journey sends you personalized reminders based on your command.
5. Adjusting Reminder Content Preferences
- How to Use: Specify the types of reminders you prefer and their frequency.
- Example: “Send me more reminders to take short walks in the morning and less reminders to drink water.”
- Outcome: Preferences are adjusted.
6. Setting Specific Time Preferences
- How to Use: Share your preferred times for receiving different types of nudges.
- Example: “Journey, send time management nudges in the morning and reflection nudges in the evening.”
- Outcome: Journey schedules nudges according to your time preferences.
7. Using Journey Chat as a Journal
- How to Use: Reach out to Journey Chat when you want to record your thoughts or feelings and gain in-the-moment perspective.
- Example: “Journey, I’m feeling overwhelmed with my project deadline today.”
- Outcome: Obtain immediate support tailored to your situation.
8. Using Journey for Self-Reflection
- How to Use: Reflect on your day or feelings through Journey.
