Keep the human in charge.

Wearables and apps can show patterns, but they cannot fully explain stress, enjoyment, context, or priorities. Combine the signal with how you feel and perform.

If a score makes you anxious without improving your choices, reduce its authority. Technology should support coaching, not replace judgement.

Review patterns, not verdicts.

Look across several days and weeks. A single score is a snapshot; a pattern can become useful information.
