@shumee.bsky.social presented her work on understanding goal-completion, its barriers and disruptions.

🎯 Disruptions create emotional burden
🎯 People may partially disengage or alter their engagement with the goal when faced with disruptions
🎯 We need to design for everyday hassles and life events

@brunaoewel.bsky.social talks about engagement perceived and measured by digital mental health researchers.

➡️Engagement exists on both micro and macro levels
➡️Engagement can be visible or invisible (e.g., offline interactions)
➡️User context, engagement dimensions prioritization are key
