Daily Feats and Day to Day: Mechanisms of Change and Usability Perceptions

Mechanism of Change/Usability	Examples
Daily Feats
Development of routine	• I think it’s the structure and tangibility of the lists in Daily Feats that I’m motivated to accomplish and checkoff everyday. [1767] •The daily feats give me goals through out the day I can check off and feel good about myself [1257]
Sense of accomplishment	• I feel better about my day when I can see that I actually have accomplished something, like the list in daily feats and aspire. [1355] • I find it helpful to be encouraged to accomplish the goals I set. [1187]
Self-awareness	• Daily Feats helps me notice when I make healthy choices. [1114]
Easy to use	• I like aspire and daily feats lately. They are easy to use…
Day to Day
Instilling motivation	• I liked ‘day to day’ it was nice to make me think about working on things. [1365]
Changing thought patterns	• I’m really finding the Day To Day app beneficial, it’s making me think in different ways I didn’t think of before. [1739] • i just wanted to tell u th[a]t the day to day app has really been helpful this week. Talking about negative thinking and ways to change it. [1718]
Interaction patterns led to confusion and irritation	• Day to day is a little confusing in terms of how you get to the next level. i see the messages that are sent but unsure how to get to the next item. [1362] • The day to day app can be a bit overbearing with the notifications and suggestions. [1433]
