Alongside the share price, the medals in Athenify represent another important motivational tool.

Medals Are Awards

Medals are awards for particularly good study days. In Athenify, there are three medals: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. By default, you receive medals for the following study times:

  • More than 5 hours (300 minutes): Gold Medal
  • More than 4 hours (240 minutes): Silver Medal
  • More than 3 hours (180 minutes): Bronze Medal

Custom Medals

In Athenify, you can freely decide the amount of study time required to earn medals. In the settings, you can change the values for all three medals at any time.

When you receive which medal (or want to receive) depends on various factors.

Don't set goals too low. Medals should only be earned when you can truly be satisfied with the study time. Therefore, the thresholds for medals should not be set too low.

Don't set goals too high. On the other hand, the values for medals should not be set too high. Otherwise, the medals might be demotivating.

The Art of Medals

The art lies in setting the values of the medals to a Goldilocks level. You will need to experiment a bit, but that's completely fine! Eventually, you will find the right medal values for you. And from then on, the medals will unleash their full power: Like an Olympian, you will collect medals. Everywhere in Athenify, you will see on which days you earned medals.
