Stoplight is the first routines app designed specifically for people who struggle to stick to routines. We believe that your routines should work with your body’s natural tendencies, not against them. With the Stoplight Routine Method, you create three versions of each routine: High-Energy, Average Energy, and Low Energy. Each day, you decide which version of your routine you have the energy to do. You keep your streak by completing any version of your routine. - High-Energy: this is the routine you do when you have lots of energy and motivation. This routine will probably have a lot of steps. - Average Energy: this is the go-to version of your routine that you would do on most days when you have an average amount of energy - Low-Energy: this is the version of your routine that you’ll do on days when you have very little motivation and energy. This routine might only include one step instead of multiple, so you can still stay on track with your goals. - [BONUS] Super-Low-Energy: this version of your routine is for those super low energy, barely-make-it-out-of-bed days. This might just have one small task on it, like “brush your teeth for 10 seconds”. The Stoplight app was made for neurodivergent minds. Our method helps people with ADHD, brain fog, or other attention issues. Oftentimes, sticking to the exact same routine each day can feel overwhelming. Stoplight allows your routines to change with your energy levels so that you can stick to your routines every day. With Stoplight Premium, you can create unlimited Stoplight routines. Make a routine for your self-care day, for the gym, or for getting your homework done each day. Terms of Service: https://stoplightlabs.com/terms
