- Your entry stays private by default. You review actions and community membership separately.
A balanced life starts with noticing what needs attention. You can begin with “I feel overwhelmed” without knowing why, or without wanting to fix anything yet.
Notice a feeling, explore it privately, choose a useful step and any support, then reflect on what changed after following through.
Choose the Questions That Fit
| What you want to do | Choose |
|---|---|
| Understand how you feel, even when you do not know why | A feeling |
| Work through a particular difficult thought, worry, or reaction and consider another view | Thought & emotion record |
| Record something you did to look after yourself | Self-care |
| Capture what happened in a therapy or coaching session | Therapy or coaching session |
| Write freely without guided questions | Free writing |
A feeling replaces the name Mood check-in. Your earlier entries keep their answers. Emotional regulation, worry, self-compassion, and thought-record searches still lead to the consolidated deeper reflection option.
Start With What You Know
In Reflect, add an event and search for A feeling. Pick one or several feelings, including Not sure or Something else. You can add your own words in the details.
The questions help you notice what happened beforehand, what might be contributing, and what you need. “I'm not sure yet” is a useful answer. Body sensations, intensity, and overall mood are extra details. You do not need to invent a cause or duration to make a valid entry.
You can also start with Loggy: “I feel overwhelmed about work.” It can help you choose questions and explore your own words. Tell it when you want to save an entry; review the draft before confirming.
If you are unsure which form fits, choose Describe what happened in the template picker. Loggy recommends one form and explains why. When two forms fit, it asks a question that helps distinguish them. It uses details you have already given and asks further questions when needed, one at a time. You can leave optional reflection unanswered or say that you are not sure.
Choose One Manageable Step
An answer such as “Ask which deadline matters most” can remain a thought in your journal. Save reflection is a complete outcome.
To turn it into something to do, use Add action in the Act section of the same page. Review the action's wording and schedule; it is created together with your entry when you choose Save reflection and actions. A new action starts without a date: a journal entry about yesterday does not mean the action belongs yesterday.
To attach the step to a plan you already have, choose Add to an existing plan instead. Your reflection saves first, then you can link an existing plan, review a new action, or ask Loggy for help. You can also finish without adding anything.
Loggy receives the saved entry as context. Review its proposed tasks, habits, or goals before confirming. Returning without confirming does not create them. If Loggy is unavailable or your allowance is used, you can still save your reflection and choose a step by hand.
Find Support and Follow Through
From Add to an existing plan instead, you can link an existing active plan or browse action templates. Review the steps and schedule before adding a new plan. The selected plan stays linked to your reflection. You can also add a small task to an existing plan without creating another plan.
An action template can also offer its community Circle. A habit such as Self check-in, Worry window, or Self-compassion pause may fit what you want to practise; choose it because it fits your intention, then review its schedule and Circle choice.
Joining a Circle shares membership. Your feeling, journal answers, private plan, and completion reflection stay private unless you separately choose to share them. You can leave a Circle offer unticked or turn its visible tick off.
Find the scheduled action in Act on the day you chose. Complete it with a short reflection: what happened, what helped, and what would you repeat or change? If it did not happen, adjust the date or make the step smaller.
🌿 Why This Matters
The Logit philosophy connects noticing, reflection, action, support, and learning from experience. You can stop after a private reflection whenever that is enough.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know why I feel this way?
No. Record what you notice and leave room for uncertainty. Loggy should ask about your experience, not invent a cause or diagnose you.
Does writing a next step create a task?
No. Add and save an action by hand, or review and confirm Loggy's proposal.
Must I join a community or share my entry?
No. Both the private reflection and the action can stand on their own.
Keep your usual forms close
Tap the star beside a journal template to keep it in Starred at the top of the picker. Recently used follows it, showing up to six forms you have saved. Opening or cancelling a form does not add it to this list. These choices belong to your account. Offline changes stay on this device and sync when you next open a picker with a working connection.
When you complete a habit or an action created from a template, its associated journal form opens automatically. A habit keeps its chosen or copied form; individual preparation tasks use a simple completion reflection. You can change the form before saving. Starring a different form does not change the action's association. A successfully saved habit reflection becomes that habit's default for next time.
