In this scenario, the role of “father” and the value “Putting family first” overlap with the weekend activities. I spent my time in a way that is congruent with how I see myself and my values. This is what makes me feel positive. It is similar to acting congruently to physical laws such as gravity.

As I wrote these down, I thought about easy ways I could track and check in on my progress towards living these statements. I googled tools, blogs and downloaded apps but none provided the user experience and results I was hoping for. I wanted something simple, accessible and personalized.

What I noticed was that without easy access to update and review my happiness model as well as frequent check-ins on progress, I would drift, lose focus and make little to no progress on living a happier life. I would spend time on activities that didn’t drive my real happiness. I wondered what others did and I started to ask around.
