What exactly is my "Balance Score"?
Your Roots "Balance Score" is a personalized score that helps you understand your daily balance with screen time.
Your score is calculated based on the "Daily Intentions" you set, and how you are progressing against them.
How is my "Balance Score" calculated?
You start each day "In Balance" with a score of 99.
Throughout the day your score moves up and down based on how you use your phone.
Your “Balance Score” is calculated based on the personal "Daily Intentions" you set when you first started using Roots, not just raw screen time numbers.
What influences your Balance Score:
How you're tracking against your personal screen time goal
Your phone pickup count vs. your target
Your "Digital Dopamine" hits (not all screen time is created equal!)
You must be putting your phone down and taking breaks from screen time
How should I use my "Balance Score"?
Check your "Balance Score" throughout the day to see how you are trending. See if you can stay above 80!
90+: you are very balanced!
80-89: you are doing pretty well and in balance
70-79: you may want to put down your phone to get back into balance.
Below 69: you have fallen out of balance!
