Different Response Paths

Brightli adapts its questions based on your rating:

High Ratings (4-5 stars)

Questions focus on what made the experience successful and how to replicate it.

Mid Ratings (3 stars)

Questions explore what could have been better and what worked well.

Low Ratings (1-2 stars)

Questions help identify obstacles and consider alternatives.

Tips for Better Reflections

Be Specific

Instead of "It was good," try "I felt energized because I started early and the weather was perfect."

Note Context

Mention factors like time of day, who you were with, your mood beforehand, weather, or location.

Be Honest

Your reflections are private. Being truthful gives you better insights over time.

Keep It Reasonable

A sentence or two with key details is often enough to capture your experience.

Skipped Reflections

If you assign a rating but skip the response, the activity will still generate insights. However, for best results, always submit a reflection response.
