• Each day takes 10-20 minutes to explore
• All examples are based on real situations
• Feel free to skip ahead to features you need most
• No pressure to do everything—this is YOUR app

📅 Day 1: Getting Started & Your First Save ⭐

Theme: Understanding what 3mpwrApp can do for you
Time: 15 minutes
Goal: Create your first saved document

Morning: Welcome & Setup (5 minutes)

What happens when you open the app:

1. You’ll see the home screen with a welcome message
2. You can create an account or use Guest mode
3. If it’s your first time, you’ll see tips and feature highlights
4. Your location (province/territory) helps personalize resources for you

Your first decision:

Quick accessibility check:

• Go to Settings ⚙️ (top right)
• Visual: Turn on High Contrast if text is hard to see
• Text: The app follows your phone’s text size setting
• Motor: Check if buttons are big enough to tap
• Screen reader: If you use VoiceOver/TalkBack, it should work automatically

Mid-Morning: Explore Your First Resource (5 minutes)

Scenario: You just received a confusing letter from your insurance company and want to understand what it means.

What you’ll do:

1. Go to Advocacy tab (at the bottom)
2. Find “AI Advocate Translator” (looks like a speech bubble with AI symbol)
3. Copy the confusing text from your letter
4. Paste it into the translator
5. Read the plain English version
6. Save the result: Tap the bookmark icon 📖 to save for later

What you’ve learned:

• ✅ How to navigate to different sections

Pro tip: Save confusing letters this way. You can show the simple version to doctors or advocates later.

Afternoon: Create Your First Note (5 minutes)

Scenario: You had an important conversation with your doctor today and want to remember what was discussed.

What you’ll do:

1. Go to Resources tab → Evidence Locker
2. Tap “New” or ”+” button
3. Give your note a title: “Doctor call - Oct 17, 2025”
4. Write what happened:
   • “Doctor said my energy is low”
   • “Discussed new medication options”
   • “Next appointment: Nov 1”

📅 Day 2: Wellness Check-In & Energy Tracking 🌟

Theme: Understanding your own patterns
Time: 15 minutes
Goal: Start tracking your energy and mood

Morning: Set Up Daily Energy Coins (8 minutes)

Scenario: You wake up and want to plan what you can do today based on your energy.

What you’ll do:

1. Go to Wellness tab → Daily Energy Coins
2. Read the intro (explains the concept)
3. Set your daily “budget”: Start with 10 coins (you can adjust)
4. Look at example costs:
   • Sending one email = 1 coin
   • Doctor’s appointment = 3-4 coins
   • Grocery shopping = 2-3 coins
   • Household cleaning = 2-4 coins
5. Plan your day by “spending” coins mentally
   • “I’ll do email (1 coin) and rest (0 coins)” = 1 coin spent
   • You still have 9 coins left for unexpected things

What you’re learning:

• ✅ Recognize you have limited energy (just like money)
• ✅ Make conscious choices about how to spend it
• ✅ Avoid over-committing yourself
• ✅ Plan realistic days

Real example:

Sarah wakes up tired. She uses Energy Coins to plan:

• Morning bathroom routine: 1 coin (low energy needed)
• Eat breakfast: 1 coin
• Rest and watch TV: 0 coins
• Check on pets: 1 coin
• Total so far: 3 coins, 7 coins left for afternoon

This helps Sarah see that she CAN do some things, just not everything.

Afternoon: Track Your Mood (7 minutes)

Scenario: It’s 3 PM and you want to check in with yourself about how you’re feeling.

What you’ll do:

1. Go to Wellness tab → Reflections Calendar
2. Look at the calendar grid
3. Tap on TODAY’S DATE
4. You’ll see options to rate your mood:
   • 😞 Bad (difficult day)
   • 😐 Okay (getting by)
   • 😊 Good (feeling alright)
   • 😊 Great (really good day)
5. Add a quick note:
   • “Good morning, difficult afternoon”
   • “Pain levels higher today”
   • “Had a good conversation with friend”
6. Tap Save

What happens next:

• The calendar will color-code each day
• Over time, you’ll see patterns (good days on weekends? tough mornings?)
• You can export this data for doctors or therapists

Privacy note: This stays completely private on your phone unless you choose to share it.

📅 Day 3: Understanding Your Rights & Documents ⚖️

Theme: Knowing what you’re entitled to
