When to try a different activity
An experiment may be unhelpful, unpleasant or simply hard to fit into your life. Switching is a valid choice.
Close the current round and pick a different one of the five activities. Record a new starting rating and prediction.
Open my labWhat to notice
Compare how feasible each activity felt as well as their observed scores.
Record a 1–10 daily rating and whether you tried the activity. A missed day is useful context; it does not erase the rest of your week. At the first checkpoint, you can continue for seven or fourteen days, or choose something else.
How to interpret your result
Different weeks bring different circumstances; side-by-side averages are clues, not a ranked clinical treatment plan.
Keep your original prediction separate from the daily ratings. Your starting rating, number of observations and changing circumstances all matter. A personal week can reveal a pattern worth exploring, but it cannot establish cause or statistical significance.
