How to Use Your Focus Areas
But how do they work? Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Step One: Select Your Focus Areas
You’ll need to identify up to three Focus Areas where you think you need the most help.
The current Focus Areas are:
Conflict Resolution
Work Confidence
Relationship Building
Communication Skills
Stress Management
Imposter Syndrome
Time Management
Networking Skills
Planning & Organizing
Go with your intuition here. Which do you feel most drawn to?
Step Two: Input the Selection into Kin
Launch the Kin app on your device.
If you’ve not used Kin before:
Step Three: Complete Onboarding
You’ll be asked to identify your Focus Areas as part of the onboarding questions.
Just follow the prompts.
If you’ve used Kin before:
Step Four: Review Your Focus Areas
You’ll be able to see your Focus Areas on your Home page after launching Kin.
You can change them at any time by tapping on them, and reselecting them in the following menus.
Step Five: Build a Plan with Kin
Using either the Chat or Journal feature, provide Kin with as much detail as possible about how your Focus Areas affect your day-to-day life, both at work and at home.
Using the Chat feature, ask Kin to help you plan actionable tasks and goals for improving on these Focus Areas the way you would like.
When you’ve created goals you’re happy with, it’s now down to you to do the work.
Step Six: Check-in Regularly
Return periodically to tell Kin about what’s working in your plan, and what isn’t.
Work with Kin to make adjustments as necessary, and follow them as best you can.
Step Seven: Track Progress
From the Home page, select a Focus Area from the Focus Area section.
From here, you can see how much you discuss each Focus Area with Kin, and how much progress you’re making with it.
Use this information to ensure you’re talking to Kin about all your Focus Areas equally, and to see whether you might need more help working on a particular Area.
Step Eight: Adjust Accordingly
Using the Chat feature, ask Kin how your long-term progress has developed, and what large-scale changes should be made.
Do this periodically for the best results.
