Guided routine
To-do list for your self-care
When you're running on empty, Liven makes it easier to take care of yourself.
Solution
How to use your To-do
Routine
Treat yourself with kindness
Based on your Mood Tracker check in, Liven suggests self-care ideas. Small enough to do today. Satisfying enough to remember tomorrow.
A menu for every kind of day
Hard days, flat days, wired days, slow care days. There's a menu for each, so you can stop figuring it out. Pick what you're in the mood for.
You did more than you think
Low mood makes the brain a bad witness. It remembers what's wrong, forgets what you did. Your care log in Liven to-dos puts the receipts back in front of you.
Key benefits
Finally, a list that gives back
Action before motivation
On low days, motivation arrives after the action, not before. Tick one small thing and your nervous system gets the signal that you're someone who shows up.
Self-care ideas
When you're drained, brainstorming your own self-care is the last thing you can do. The menu is already there. Pick a task your gut points to.
Guilt-free
Liven doesn't keep score for the tasks you haven’t done. Skip a day, skip a week, skip a season. The list opens fresh every morning, no debt to pay back.
Receipts against the inner critic
Low mood makes your brain a bad witness. It remembers what you missed and forgets what you did. The weekly view puts the proof back in front of you.
Liven helps you feel a bit better every day
Proven by research studies
People who write a to-do list before bed fall asleep faster*
Evidence-based approach
People who manage their tasks perform better at work and in life**
Self-care activities shift your mood, sharpen your mind, and trigger the release of the chemicals your brain uses to feel good: serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins.
