I sent a total of 4 copies and received feedback from 3 recipients.

One user not only filled out the "Grateful Receipt" but also wrote an "Unpleasant Receipt" and has indeed started using the tool. She commented, "I felt your project is a great starter kit and when it comes to putting us in a habit of contemplation. It can tell you different options and you actually end up choosing one of them to calm yourself. The happy receipt gives you a little hope every day, especially on the days when you are feeling very negative. And the bad receipt makes you analyze the things you generally get upset about."

Another user filled out several "Grateful Receipts" and expressed feeling happy when reviewing them later.

However, one user lost motivation to continue after approximately 3 to 4 days of use. He also felt that some of the tool's content was not clear enough. As a result, I transformed each tool into specific steps and created cards. Additionally, I introduced a physical clock-style accessory so users can rotate the pointer while considering whether the tool is suitable for their current state, adding a sense of ritual.

I made improvements to the instructions, added branding to the entire theme, and chose a cloud as a symbol because it represents the water cycle, which is also a cycle of self-reflection. I printed a version for testing and made slight adjustments to the layout by changing the font.

The most significant adjustment was adding an encouraging statement to each "Grateful Receipt" and "Unpleasant Receipt." Since I faced difficulties during my Autoethnography, I wanted to encourage my users to persevere like me. These statements not only provide encouragement but also offer some guiding phrases, such as distinguishing between facts and thoughts. I also added 14 "Reflection Receipts" for a retrospective review of each day's records, using questioning statements to inquire about their takeaways, inspired by counseling methods.
