⚡️ Quick Answer
FOCUS is your personal accountability dashboard inside the WatersAbove™ platform. It tracks your daily engagement, rewards consistency with badges and milestone unlocks, and gives you a clear picture of your progress over time.
Each day, you complete a combination of small actions (posting, replying, watching videos, completing tasks, or checking off your personal Focus Checklist) to earn your Daily Activity. Those Daily Activities stack into streaks and milestones that unlock new platform features tied to your membership level.
You can find FOCUS in your dock alongside HOME, PORTAL, OASIS, and ARCHIVE.
🔑 Setup for Success
Before you dive in, here are a few things that will help you get the most out of FOCUS:
Know the goal: Complete 3 Actions each day to unlock your Daily Activity. That is the core action everything else builds on.
Set up your Focus Checklist: This is a short personal task list (2 to 4 items) that you define. Completing every item on it equals 1 Action toward your Daily Activity. Take a moment to think about what daily tasks are meaningful to you.
Understand the rhythm: Your streak calendar runs Sunday through Saturday and resets at midnight in your local timezone. You get one Rest Day per week to protect your streak if you need to step away. They don't accumulate. Use it when you need to and it becomes available again every Sunday at midnight in your timezone.
Check your membership tier: The features you unlock at each milestone depend on your membership level. The milestones themselves work the same way for everyone, but the specific perks may differ.
✅ Step-by-Step
Opening FOCUS
Tap the FOCUS icon in your dock at the bottom of the screen (Web) or in the Settings Menu (mobile)
Your FOCUS dashboard loads with your Daily Activity ring, streak calendar, milestone progress, badges, and more.
Earning Your Daily Activity
Complete any combination of 3 of the following actions in a single day:
Action | How It Counts |
Make 1 post in PORTAL or FORUM | 1 Action (tracked automatically) |
Make 1 reply in PORTAL or FORUM | 1 Action (tracked automatically) |
Watch 80% of an ARCHIVE video | 1 Action (tracked automatically) |
Submit 1 Accountability Task in ARCHIVE | 1 Action (tracked automatically) |
Complete your Daily Focus Checklist | 1 Action (manually tracked by you) |
Once you hit 3 points, your Daily Activity ring fills completely and you see a checkmark. You are done for the day. Even if you complete all 5 actions, only one Daily Activity is counted per day.
Notifications
To make sure you know you're staying on track, you'll receive notifications when you complete an Action that contributes towards your Daily Activity (sans the Daily Focus Checklist since that is completed inside the FOCUS Dashboard). You'll also receive a notification when you've earned your Daily Activity, hit Milestones, and achieved new Streak thresholds (e.g., in 7 day increments).
Setting Up Your Focus Checklist
On your FOCUS dashboard, find the Daily Focus Checklist section.
Tap the 'EDIT' button or the Pencil Icon in the Goal section to open Edit Mode.
Enter your Main Goal in the text field at the top. This is for your own reference and does not impact the rest of FOCUS Mode automations.
Add between 2 and 4 tasks. These can be anything meaningful to you.
Tap Save to lock in your list.
Throughout the day, check off each task as you complete it. All tasks must be checked to earn the point. Partial completion does not count.
Note: Changes are only saved when you tap Save. Closing the editor without saving will discard your edits.
Using a Rest Day
If you need to skip a day without breaking your streak, tap the "Use Rest Day" button on your streak calendar.
An infinity symbol will appear on that day’s slot.
You get one Rest Day per week. It resets every Sunday at midnight (your local time). Unused Rest Days do not carry over.
Important: A Rest Day saves your streak, but it does not count as a Daily Activity and does not advance your milestone progress.
➡️ What Happens Next?
Streaks
Each consecutive day you earn a Daily Activity adds to your streak. Your streak calendar shows the current week (Sunday through Saturday) with visual indicators for each day: a planet icon for completed days, an X for missed days, and a countdown timer for the current day. When Sunday arrives, the calendar resets for a new week, but your Streak will continue (e.g., 34 days) for as long as you maintain it.
Milestones
Every Daily Activity you earn also adds to your cumulative milestone counter. This counter never goes down, even if you break a streak. When your counter reaches a milestone threshold, that milestone is permanently unlocked.
Each milestone unlocks specific platform features. The exact perks depend on your membership tier at the time you reach the milestone. Once a perk is unlocked, it stays unlocked permanently, even if you change your membership level later.
Milestone Cards
Below your progress bar, you will see a scrollable row of milestone cards. Completed milestones show their full image, name, and unlocked perks. Upcoming milestones are blurred intentionally. As you advance, new card details gradually come into view.
Accountability Partners
If you and another member would like to become 'Accountability Partners' you can then have a quick link to 'Direct Message' them right in your FOCUS MODE dashboard.
You must become Friends with them in order to become their Accountability Partner.
Once you are friends you can then request to become their Accountability Partner
Go to their Profile
Click on the three-dots next to their "send message" button
Click on "Send Accountability Partner Request"
They will receive the request in their notifications.
If accepted a quick link to Direct Message them will appear in your FOCUS MODE Dashboard.

No. Your Streak lasts as long as you keep it active. However, we want you to stay focused on the present week so there is no 'history' view, just the view of the Current Week, Sunday through Saturday. Every Sunday at midnight in your local timezone the visual tracker resets, not your actual streak. Your Rest Day availability also resets at the same time.
