Study
Everyday activity and wellbeing Most of what we know about physical activity and wellbeing comes from people who exercise on purpose. This study is about the rest of us: walking to the shops, carrying bags, standing at work, and whether any of it shows up in energy, sleep and mood.
You answer a short baseline about a typical week, then receive a weekly check-in for up to eight weeks. Each check-in takes about five minutes. If you wear a step counter or a fitness watch you can tell us, but nothing needs to be connected or uploaded.
This is an example study run by Indacas. Your answers are real and are deleted when the beta ends.
Study Everyday decisions Behavioural research is full of trade-offs between now and later, and between planning and spontaneity. Most of it is run on students. This study asks adults of every age how they actually decide: whether they take a smaller reward now or a larger one later, how much they plan before a trip, and how sure they feel about it afterwards.
It is a single survey of about ten minutes with no follow-up. There are no right answers.

Study Getting around and feeling at home How people travel and how connected they feel to where they live are usually studied separately. This study puts them side by side: the journeys you make most weeks, how long they take, and how much you feel you belong where you are.
You answer one survey of about ten minutes when you join, then a five-minute follow-up a month later to see whether anything has changed. We ask for your nearest town rather than an address.

Study Screens, phones and attention Almost everyone carries a screen and almost everyone has an opinion about it. This study collects the plain facts: how long you reckon you spend on your phone, which apps take most of that time, whether notifications are on, and how easy you find it to concentrate.
You answer a short eligibility check and a ten-minute survey when you join, then a two-minute check-in every fortnight for two months if you opt in. Guesses are fine; there is a "don't know" option where it matters.

Study Learning new things as an adult Adults learn constantly and almost none of it is studied, because it happens outside classrooms: a language app on the bus, a woodwork video, a parkrun plan, a new job. This study asks what you are learning right now, how you go about it, and what helps you stick with it.
You list the things you are learning, answer a few questions about your habits, and if you opt in you get a five-minute reflection two months later asking what happened next.

Study Small everyday sustainable choices Advice about living more sustainably usually assumes everyone has the same options. This study asks what people actually do day to day, what makes a greener choice easy or hard where they live, and which changes they would consider making.
You answer one survey of about ten minutes when you join. A month later, if you opt in, a five-minute follow-up asks whether anything has changed. No judgement either way: the point is to find out where the friction is.

Study Work, flexibility and wellbeing Flexible working is now ordinary, but most of the evidence about it comes from employers. This study asks people directly: where you work, how fixed your hours are, how much choice you have, and how stressed or supported you feel. People who are not currently working are welcome too; the survey skips the workplace questions for them.
You answer one survey of about ten minutes when you join. If you opt in, a five-minute pulse survey arrives each quarter for a year.

Study Music and mood People reach for music to relax, to focus, to get through a commute or to change a mood. This study looks at that in the small - what you listened to today, why you chose it, and how you felt before and after.
Each entry takes about three minutes and is answered one question at a time without going back, so it is quick on a phone. A short listening log arrives every few days if you opt in.
