# Meaning

*Measured every week · https://insenia.app/questions/meaning*

How much of what you did today felt like it mattered, and who or what the day was for.

## Why Insenia asks this

Meaning moves slowly, so Insenia measures it once or twice a week with a slider from spinning my wheels to it mattered. The surrounding questions ask what carried the meaning: work, the people around you, something you are making.

A few questions in this dimension go deeper and come up rarely. Whether a day would be worth underlining in your book is asked once in a while, never two days in a row.

## What it tends to reveal

Over several weeks a pattern often appears between the source of meaning and the weight of the day. Days where the point was the people in it, and days where the point was getting things done, tend to land in different places on the calendar.

Because this dimension uses a longer baseline, Insenia waits longer before saying anything about it. When it does, it describes which kinds of days mattered more, and not what the person ought to do about it.
