The ExcellGrowth app has a number of settings to help you configure it. These are available when you tap the Help & Resources button at the top of the screen in most views (an i in a circle).
Goal settings
Maximum number of active goals: default is 5 but can be set anywhere from 1 to 10. The aim is to encourage deep focus on a few very important things.
Default goal duration: default is 3 months starting from the day the goal is created, but can be set anywhere from 1 to 6 months. Start and end dates can be adjusted in the goal detail screen.
Habit settings
Maximum number of active habits: same as goals.
Reminder settings
By default, reminders are switched off but you can enable any as required.
Weekly review: sets a regular day and time to do a weekly review. You'll receive a reminder on your device at that time.
Daily review: similar to above but every day at the same time.
Focus reminders: these help keep you on track with your priorities*. You set a start & stop time and the number of reminders you want, and then you receive them spaced out during the day.
Please note that ExcellGrowth reminders require you to accept the permission message you see when you run the app for the first time.
If for some reason reminders aren't working for you, go to Settings -> Notifications -> ExcellGrowth and ensure Allow Notifications is selected and Lock Screen, Notification Centre and Banners are ticked.
* More on focus reminders: Have you ever planned to spend a few hours working on something important requiring deep focus, only to find yourself getting distracted and doing something else - then wondering where the time went? Focus reminders deliver messages at intervals encouraging you to reflect and focus. A bit like the gong during a meditation session, when you start the session thinking "how difficult can it be just to focus on your breathing for 10 mins" and when the gong goes off a few minutes later you find yourself daydreaming about your shopping list or what's for dinner tonight :-).
