Echo: Reflect on Your Memories

Echo helps you gain perspective on your life by enabling you to reflect on your activities after time has passed.
Every day, use Echo to capture ordinary activities. After a while, Echo will show you what you were doing in the past. Actively reflecting on those memories helps you not only appreciate what you have but also learn lessons from your behavior.
- Every day, capture ordinary activities by writing about them, maybe taking a photo or two, and rating your happiness level at that moment.
- Every day, Echo will show you what you were doing a week ago, a month ago, eventually a year ago (or longer). Actively reflect by re-rating your happiness in looking back on a memory and write whatever what comes to mind.
- The same memory may come back a few times, so you’ll see how the episode unfolded and how your views on it may have changed.
Echo users have found that it increases their level of happiness. They see the small annoyances of life in a larger perspective and figure out what really matters to them. They see patterns in their behavior and figure out ways to solve problems that weren’t apparent in the moment. They learn to appreciate the small stuff – right here, right now.

“The cool think about this is that it makes you stop and think: ‘If this isn’t good, what is?’”
“Echo helped me realize that bad moods and stress are temporary states.”
