Energy Check-In

About

Most productivity advice tells you when you should be at your best. Energy Check-In shows you when you actually are.

A small check-in card appears in the corner of your screen every 90 minutes. You tap a score from 1–5, optionally tag what you're working on, and you're done. Under 5 seconds. The extension records your response and builds a personal energy heatmap that shows — day by day, hour by hour — when your focus, creativity, and output are genuinely highest.

After 3–5 days of check-ins, patterns emerge that most people have never seen clearly before. Your real peak hours. The times when meetings cost you the most. The difference between Monday energy and Friday energy. This is your data, not averages from other people.

HOW IT WORKS

WHAT YOU LEARN

→ Your real peak hours — not when productivity culture says you should be sharp, but when you actually are. Protect those hours for your most important work.

→ What drains you fastest — see which activities correlate with your lowest scores. Most people are surprised.

→ Day-by-day patterns — are you a morning person or an afternoon person? Does your energy crash after lunch? Your heatmap answers these questions with your own data.

→ When to stop pushing — recognise the difference between a productive slump and genuine depletion. Knowing when to rest is as valuable as knowing when to work.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Knowledge workers with packed calendars, freelancers designing their own schedules, remote workers whose home and work life blend together, and anyone who has tried rigid productivity systems and found them too prescriptive. Energy Check-In doesn't tell you what to do. It gives you data about yourself. What you do with it is up to you.
