This week's insights

You moved more this week

6,200 more steps than last week. That's roughly 248 extra calories burned. Keep it up!

More family time

3 more hours together than last week. Those moments matter more than any spreadsheet.

Less screen time

7 fewer hours of non-work screen time. Your sleep quality likely improved too.

Housing cost reflection

Housing takes 48% of your income (recommended: under 30%). That means roughly 17 hours/week of work just covers the gap. Is this trade-off working for your family?

Time audit

Between work (92hrs) and screens (28hrs), your household has roughly 0 waking hours per week for everything else — meals, chores, exercise, family, rest. Is there room to reclaim some time?

You got out and shopped!

2 in-store trips this week. That's fresh air, exercise, and money saved versus ordering online.
