Improving Performance with the App

Raise Your Game
Recognising success, maintaining engagement
-
Celebrating success is a key element of habit formation and using the ExcellGrowth app is itself a habit
-
The Journal has a “success” screen where, if all the goals and habits for that day are completed, a ”fireworks” animation shows along with an inspiring quote
-
Mood charts in the Journal, along with the underlying data, show that while there are down days, there are up days too, and even on down days there are often positives to express gratitude for
Deep Dive Weekly
Weekly review of goals and habits
-
The Insights view contains a ”card” for each active goal and habit with a performance summary
-
Goal cards show progress vs plan, work done and enabling habit completion in the last week, month and quarter
-
This quickly shows if progress is on track, and if the work is being done
-
Habit cards show a bar chart of completions vs weekly target, again confirming if the work is being done
-
If performance is off track and work is being done with the right level of intensity, then the approach may not be right, there may be an obstacle to be addressed or the plan may be too ambitious
-
Deep diving into the notes for each goal and habit will help to unlock a course of action that will improve performance
Navigate Obstacles
Addressing root causes of performance issues
-
An obstacle is likely where the work is being done to plan, but the outcomes aren’t being achieved, and the timescales are realistic
-
By reviewing ”what’s difficult” and “do different” notes for off-track goals and habits, some potential causes can be identified
-
With a bit of creative thinking, options can be created and evaluated and a plan developed (the What Next)
-
This can all be done by the ExcellGrowth app user, but they may find it helpful to draw on inputs of others (inc. coaches) especially if they have direct experience of the issues
