How to Track Cognitive Progress
Build dashboards that prove your training is working
If you can’t measure it, you can’t scale it.

-35%Teams with shared dashboardsChoose a Tracking Framework
Use OKRs (objectives and key results) or 12-week year frameworks to keep goals tight. Pair each objective—“Cut reaction time by 25 ms”—with leading indicators (sleep, cardio sessions).
Store everything in a single dashboard so you are never guessing where to look.
Connect Your Tools
Export BrainGames data into Google Sheets or Notion, then visualize with Looker Studio. Use conditional formatting to highlight streaks and plateaus. Automate exports weekly via Zapier or manual CSV drops.
Integrate wearable data (HRV, sleep) to correlate physiological readiness with cognitive performance.
Run Review Cycles
Hold a weekly solo review and a monthly team review. Answer three questions: What improved? What stalled? What will I experiment with next week?
Archive charts every month so you can look back and appreciate the compounding gains.
