The choices: It took to It gave.

Answer it tonight, with this question first: https://insenia.app/tonight?q=did-today-mostly-give-or-mostly-take

## How it is answered

A five step balance. You pick one of five positions between two sides, such as It took and It gave. Some questions are about a tilt rather than an amount, and five steps capture the tilt without asking for false precision.

When it is asked: A question chosen for tonight because of what you have answered before, what is going on in your life or the pattern that is forming. Depth 2: A question that asks for a moment of honest looking back on the day.

## Why Insenia asks this

Every evening starts with the same slider, worded the same way, so that each answer can be placed next to the ones before it. A single day on its own says little, and it is only in the row of days that a number begins to mean something.

The question asks how the day felt on the inside, not what happened in it. The answer is yours and nobody corrects it, a 3 is a 3 because that is how it felt.

## What it tends to reveal

After two weeks the row of evenings starts to show a shape. Some people see a weekday that is consistently heavier than the others, or weekends that sit a little higher than the days around them.

Over a longer stretch the day colours in the calendar follow this one answer, so a run of lighter or heavier days becomes visible at a glance. The app describes what the row looks like and leaves the reading of it to you.

## In Croatian

Je li ti današnji dan više davao ili uzimao? (Uzimao / Davao)
