When cohorts use shared dashboards

Plan the Curriculum

Outline four themed weeks (speed, memory, focus, integration). Each week includes education, drills, and reflection prompts. Share a Google Doc or Notion wiki with expectations and resources.

Operational Cadence

Keep communications inside a single platform (Slack, Discord). Automate reminders via bots.

  • **Kickoff call (45 min):** Set goals, demo games, explain scoring.
  • **Midweek accountability thread:** Participants post screenshots + insights.
  • **Weekly retro (30 min):** Celebrate wins, troubleshoot blockers, preview next week.

Accountability Infrastructure

Create pods of 3-4 people who check in daily. Use BrainGames leaderboards plus custom KPIs (streaks, improvement %). Offer micro-rewards (badges, callouts) for consistency.

Measure Outcomes

Track participation (sessions logged), performance gains, and qualitative testimonials. Use these to iterate the next cohort or pitch sponsors.

Action Steps

Define the avatar

Clarify who you’re serving (students, founders, athletes) and their core pain.

Design the cadence

Set weekly goals, live calls, async check-ins, and scoreboard updates.

Embed accountability

Use leaderboards, peer pods, and progress reports to keep everyone engaged.

Recommended Games

Reaction Time

Shared benchmark that sparks friendly competition.

Sequence Memory

Great for team pattern challenges.
