Log outdoor and screen minutes
Use the timer or a preset from the capture sheet, or answer the minutes question when you mark the outdoor block done. Screen minutes sit on the same form.
Goal: minutes outside, and optionally minutes on a screen. Any adult.
When you mark the outdoor block done#
- On Today, tap Done on the outdoor block.
- Under Outdoor — Minutes?, tap a preset or type the minutes.
- Pick the Place, or leave At home / not listed.
- Optional: Screen minutes today.
From the capture sheet#
- Tap +, then Outdoor.
- Tap Start timer when you go out and Stop when you come back, or type the minutes.
- Pick the Place and save. Undo is available for eight seconds.
Screen minutes on their own#
Tap +, then Outdoor, and fill only Screen minutes today. Screen minutes appear in the This week card on the dashboard.
Where it shows#
- The Outdoor min figure in the stats strip on Today.
- Progress › Dashboard: the outdoor/day tile, the outdoor streak, and the Outdoor min vs 180/day bars.
- The weekly review's first observation: "Outdoor ≥60 min on 5/7 days (last week 3/7)."
FAQ
What counts as outdoor?
The outdoor block and adventures. Free play indoors is not counted, and the dashboard says so under the chart.
Where is the target from?
The dashed line on the dashboard is the WHO guideline of 180 active minutes a day for under-fives. Outdoor minutes are a proxy for part of that.
