Every exercise in the app comes from somewhere. In the app you find the research behind each exercise, with the source.
- Energy sources at work
- The job demands-resources model describes work as a balance between things that cost energy and things that give energy. In research, resources like support, learning and variety go together with less stress and more engagement.
- Strengths
- In a controlled study, people used a strength in a new way every day for a week. Six months later they were still happier and less low. A meta-analysis found small but clear effects of positive exercises like this.
- Job crafting
- In job crafting, people themselves change small things about their tasks, contacts or view of their work. A meta-analysis of interventions found a small positive effect, including on engagement.
- Detachment from work
- Mentally switching off from work after hours helps you recover. In an experiment, a plan for unfinished tasks helped people switch off, especially those who usually find that hard.
