Tool-Bank 1 - The Brain Play Lab

The purpose of this tool bank is to help provide a few key interactive game‑like activities centered on your core domains. The info and elements provided here are intended for purposes of curiosity and habit-building, not diagnosis. Info, items and tools in this section will rotate occasionally between quick games, micro-experiments, and self-tracking kits.

DEV NOTE: This tier would be a secondary development effort to build small JS widgets via AI VIBE coding to build out content for this section.

1. 1‑Minute Word Chain (Attention + Flexibility)

   • Prompt: “Start with any word. In 60 seconds, type as many new words as you can where the last letter of the previous word is the first letter of the next.”

   • After: show how many they got and a fun note like “You just worked attention, language, and flexibility.”

2. 3‑Object Recall (Working Memory)

   • Show 3–5 simple images/words for 10–15 seconds (e.g., “apple, key, bicycle”).

   • Hide them; after a 20–30 second distraction (tiny math or tapping task), ask users to recall.

   • Position it as “a snack for your working memory,” not a test.

3. Everyday Problem Puzzle (Executive Skills)

   • Present a small real‑life scenario (missed bus, budget shortfall, double‑booked schedule).

   • Ask: “List 3 different ways you could handle this.”

   • After they type, reflect back: “That’s your brain practicing flexible problem‑solving and planning—core executive functions.”​

NOTE: We should plan to rotate prompts weekly or regularly so people have a reason to revisit.

Tool-Bank 2 - Brain-Friendly Habits Hub

This tool bank provides you a few tools you can choose from to customize your own experiments tied to the Lifestyle Pillars.

DEV NOTE: This tier would be a secondary development effort to build small JS widgets via AI VIBE coding to build out content for this section.

1. 7‑Day Micro‑Move Picker (Movement + Mood)

   • Let users pick one tiny daily movement (5‑minute walk, 10 squats, stretch after coffee).

   • Simple checkbox tracker for 7 days with a “How did my brain feel?” slider.

   • At the end, show a small summary: “You tried movement on X of 7 days—notice any shift in energy or focus?”

2. Sleep Wind‑Down Builder (Sleep + Stress)

   • Offer 6–8 options (dim lights, no screens 20 minutes, warm drink, breathing, journaling).

   • They pick 2–3, create a “Tonight’s Plan,” and optionally rate their next‑day clarity.

   • Frame it as experimenting with one pillar of brain health.​

3. Connection Bingo (Social + Cognitive)

   • A simple 3×3 grid: “Text a friend,” “Ask someone a question you’ve never asked,” “Join a group chat or forum,” etc.

   • Users click when done; when they get a row, you celebrate: “You just checked multiple social‑connection boxes—another key brain‑health pillar.”

NOTE: We should plan to rotate prompts weekly or regularly so people have a reason to revisit.

Tool-Bank 3 - Brain Journaling & Self-Check-ins Calendar

This tool bank helps you with tools and considerations for building out a Self-Check-In Calendar & creating a Brain Journal

DEV NOTE: There is an opportunity here to create some custom JOURNAL type digital files that can be placed on Amazon for visitors to purchase digital on demand publishing-wise. This would be more of a product than directing to some outside source or item for them to aquire?

1. Today’s Brain Slider

   • Three sliders: “Clarity,” “Energy,” “Mood” (e.g., 1–10).

   • One text prompt: “What’s one thing that might be affecting this today? (sleep, stress, food, etc.).”

   • Over time, you can visualize trends for logged‑in users.

2. Weekly Wins Log

   • Prompt users to note 3 small brain‑related wins: “I remembered…”, “I solved…”, “I learned…”.

   • This reinforces self‑efficacy and keeps the tone positive, which is important for engagement and emotional health.​

3. Gentle Red‑Flag Reflection

   • 4–5 yes/no questions echoing your “How Is My Brain?” section (e.g., repeated missed bills, getting lost, repeated questions).

   • If several are “Yes,” show supportive copy: “These patterns are worth paying attention to. If you’re worried, consider talking with a health professional or using formal tools from organizations like the Alzheimer’s Association or MoCA.”
