What it took.What it meant.
A private record of how your days felt. Each evening, give every moment two dots: what it took, and whether it was worth it. In a few weeks, see what charges you — and what drains you.
Free to join. We’ll only email you when your place is ready.
You remember what you did. Not what it left in you.
Every moment takes. Some give back.
Essênt helps you find them.
How the evening works
A day is made of moments.
A coffee, a call, a walk. Your calendar fills in the day, and you add what it missed.
The first dot is Energy.
How much did it take? Slate blue when it drained you, amber when it charged you.
The second is Worth.
Was it worth it? Plum when it wasn’t, green when it was.
About a minute, each evening.
Give each moment its two dots and leave the rest. Never a score, and it stays private.

Dinner
She got the job. We stayed until they stacked the chairs.

Drained is one reading.Worth it is another.
Drained and still worth it happens all the time. So does charged and not worth it. That’s why each moment gets two dots, and never one number.
In a few weeks
Your days add up.So does what they left.
What charges you. What drains you. What was worth it. Open Insight and it says it in two plain sentences, with the moments behind them.
The planning calls took the most this week.
The dinners with Amara were worth it.
Two readings, two sentences. What took the most, and what was worth it, each said plainly with the moments behind it. Nothing is added up, and nothing appears until there’s enough to say it honestly.
Middays took the most.
Blank: nothing marked then.
The shape of your week. Each part of each day in the colour of how it went. Switch between the two readings; a blank is a time you didn’t mark.
- Amara Okafor, 6 hours 10 minutes together. Energy drained, Worth worth it.
- Priya Raman, 4 hours 45 minutes together. Energy drained, Worth in between.
- Mateo Álvarez, 90 minutes together. Energy charged, Worth not marked.
Presence, not a ranking. Times are moments together.
People stay people. Who you spent the week with, for how long, and how those moments left you. Never a verdict on anyone.
