Choose Your Tooling

Solo players often start in Notion or Sheets. Teams prefer Airtable or Looker Studio for sharing. Pick the one you already use—speed beats perfection.

Map Core Metrics

List must-haves (reaction mean, best, variability, number memory span) and supporting context (sleep hours, caffeine intake, subjective readiness). Assign data types and decide whether each should be automated or manual.

Connect BrainGames Data

Export CSVs weekly or use Zapier to push new scores straight into your sheet. Add formulas for rolling averages and conditional formatting that flags regressions.

Layer Lifestyle Signals

Create columns for sleep, hydration, workouts, and mood. Use dropdowns or 1-5 sliders. Correlate them with BrainGames KPIs to spot hidden levers.

Review and Iterate

Schedule a 20-minute Sunday review. Ask: What improved? What stalled? What will I try next week? Add charts to visualize streaks and overlays (sleep vs. reaction). Share highlights with accountability partners.
