Here are three quick just‑for‑you check‑ins to get a feel for how your brain is doing in everyday life. These are not tests or diagnoses—just conversation starters between you and… you.
Self-Assessment 1: Daily Brain Check-in

Focus: sleep, energy, focus, mood, forgetfulness—modeled loosely on lifestyle/mood check‑ins used for mental and brain health.​

Mini Self-Assessments

Self-Assessment 2: Brain‑Healthy Lifestyle Snapshot

Focus: movement, food, social life, learning—mirroring lifestyle‑ based brain health score ideas.​

Self-Assessment 3: Everyday Thinking & Memory

Questions (answer “Rarely / Sometimes / Often”):

  1. I miss appointments or important dates because I forgot about them.

  2. I start tasks and then forget what I was doing.

  3. I lose my place in conversations or retell the same story without realizing it.

  4. I make small mistakes with bills, passwords, or everyday details I used to track easily.

  5. Friends or family have gently mentioned concerns about my memory or focus.

Blurb:

  • Mostly “Rarely / Sometimes”: “Most people have these moments. Simple tools like calendars, reminders, and routines can make things smoother.”​

  • Several “Often” + #5: “It might be a good time to talk with a health professional or explore formal tools from major brain‑health organizations.”

Example questions (answer: “Rarely / Sometimes / Often”):

  1. I feel rested and clear‑headed when I wake up.

  2. I can usually focus on one task long enough to finish it.

  3. I lose track of where I put things (keys, phone, glasses) during a normal week.

  4. I feel easily overwhelmed by small tasks or decisions.

  5. My mood feels up and down in ways that surprise me.

CONTEXT:

  • More “Rarely”: “Your day‑to‑day brain feels pretty supported—keep noticing what’s working.”

  • More “Often”: “You might benefit from small tweaks to sleep, routines, or stress habits. If you’re concerned, consider chatting with a health professional or using more in‑depth tools from trusted organizations.”​

Questions (answer “Yes / Sometimes / Not really”):

  1. I move my body on most days (even light walking or stretching).

  2. I eat fruits, vegetables, and whole foods more days than not.

  3. I see or talk with people I care about at least a few times a week.

  4. I challenge my brain with new things (reading, puzzles, projects, learning).

  5. I have at least one simple habit that helps me unwind (music, breathing, journaling, etc.).

CONTEXT:

  • Mostly “Yes”: “You’re already giving your brain several of the building blocks many experts highlight: movement, connection, learning, and rest.”​

  • Mostly “Sometimes / Not really”: “Consider picking one area to experiment with first—like a short walk, a weekly call, or a tiny new learning habit.”

Focus: appointments, tasks, conversations, money details—kept non‑clinical but aligned with what brain health centers ask people to notice.​
