What is Momentum?
Most productivity systems track what you've done. MomentumForge tracks your behavioral velocity. It turns daily actions into a physics engine for your life.
The Momentum Engine
Momentum is a continuous score from 0 to 100. It is not a simple point counter—it behaves like physics. It builds with consistent action and gradually decays when you stop.
How It Increases
Every meaningful action—completing a project task, finishing a workout, or logging a journal entry—earns base points.
However, points are subject to diminishing returns. The higher your momentum, the fewer effective points each action contributes. This prevents gaming the system and rewards sustained, long-term effort over short bursts.
How It Decays
Momentum decays daily, but the rate depends on your activity. It never resets to zero abruptly. It bleeds off gradually, giving you time to recover.
Life Domains
Momentum isn't just a global number. Every single action you take is attributed to one of 6 Life Domains. This reveals where you are actually investing your energy, turning invisible patterns into visible data.
Project tasks, deep work
Workouts, hydration, sleep
Reading, courses, skills
Budgeting, planning
Journaling, writing, art
Chores, maintenance
The Domain Balance Radar
The Insights page features a radar chart that plots your momentum across all 6 domains. A perfectly balanced life shows as an even shape. If you've been grinding at work but neglecting your health, the shape stretches and collapses, visually mapping your current life phase.
The Momentum Ledger
Just like a bank account has a ledger for every transaction, MomentumForge maintains a precise Momentum Ledger for your behavioral energy.
- Every point earned is timestamped and categorized.
- Daily decay is logged automatically every night.
- Bonus multipliers (like completing all Daily Objectives) are explicitly tracked.
- You can flip your Dashboard widget to see today's net change in real-time.
