understanding your metrics

groovmint tracks several different measures of your progress and wellbeing. This section explains what each one means, how it's calculated, and how to read it so that your dashboard always tells you something useful rather than just showing you numbers.

The groov momentum score

Your Groov Momentum Score is the heartbeat of groovmint. It measures how consistently active you're being in each area of your life by adding up the points earned from every completed task, logged habit, and recorded learning linked to that Groov.

Every activity type earns a different number of points, reflecting the different nature of each:

Habits earn the most because consistency is the hardest thing to build and the most valuable thing to maintain. Tasks earn a solid point for getting things done. Learnings earn half a point - they matter, but groovmint trusts you to decide what counts as a meaningful log.

A few important things to understand about how momentum is measured:

Focus only on your active days

The Groov Momentum chart shows your score for each active day only - not a running total. This means you can see clearly how productive each day was, without the chart being distorted by a big burst of activity weeks ago. The Growth chart is where you see the cumulative picture.

Days with no activity don't appear on the Groov Momentum chart simply because  gaps in your activity  aren't failures,  they're rest, and groovmint doesn't penalise you for them.

Groov-specific scoring

Each Groov has its own momentum score. This lets you see at a glance which areas of your life are moving and which ones have gone quiet.

Groov health

Groov Health reflects how engaged you've been in each area of your life recently. It moves through a natural arc - from Starting when a Groov is brand new, through Growing and Stable as you build a consistent rhythm, into Shifting and Quiet if life pulls your focus elsewhere, and eventually Dormant after 28 days without any activity. During holiday periods, a Groov will show as Resting if you're taking a proper break, or Active Holiday if you're still choosing to log despite the time off.

The arc isn't linear and it isn't judgemental. A Groov that goes Quiet isn't a failure - it's information. Priorities shift, life gets in the way, and sometimes a Groov goes quiet because something more important needs your attention. When you're ready to pick it back up, it'll be right there waiting.

GROOV dashboard visuals

The GROOV visuals give you multiple ways to look at your momentum data. Each view answers a different question:

Mint score

Your Mint Score is groovmint's measure of your wellbeing at a given moment. It's calculated from the three categories you fill in when creating a journal entry - Mood, Energy, and Feeling, with each category carries equal weight.

At the lower end of the scale, your Mint Score is telling you to slow down and be kind to yourself. Around midway is a steady, unremarkable day - and there's nothing wrong with that. As you move higher in the range you're in genuinely good territory, and at the top means everything is firing at once. When that happens, it's worth pausing to notice what's going on in your life that day - that kind of self-knowledge is exactly what the journal is for.

The goal isn't to chase reaching the top each day - it's to build an honest picture of your patterns over time. A consistently truthful log is far more valuable than an optimistic one.

⚠ Never modify the Mood, Feeling, or Energy dropdown options. The Mint Score formula is calibrated precisely to the existing selections. Changing them will break the scoring system.

See the groov-mint!

The real insight in groovmint comes from looking at your momentum and your wellbeing side by side. A high Groov Momentum score on a day when your Mint Score was low tells you something - you were pushing through.

A low Groov Momentum score alongside a high Mint Score might mean you were resting well, or that something else had your attention.

Over time, patterns will emerge. You'll start to see which moods produce your best work, which days of the week you're naturally most active, and which groovs energise you versus which ones feel like a grind. That self-knowledge is what groovmint is ultimately designed to give you.
