What three weeks actually looks like
One sign-up survey to enroll. Then three short surveys on each of 15 workdays, and one final survey after day 15. Your 15 workdays start the next workday after you finish the sign-up survey.
Sign-up survey
Background questions about you, your work, and the people you work with. About 25–35 minutes, and the longest thing you'll do. Pays $10 — $2 when you complete it, and an $8 sign-up bonus once you've completed short surveys on five workdays.
Fifteen workdays, Monday through Friday. Each survey pays on its own, so a full day is worth $3 — and in week 3 the rate doubles to $6 a day. Five of these days is also the mark that releases your $8 sign-up bonus. Weekends are yours.
Final survey — after day 15
Complete short surveys on at least five workdays and you'll be invited to the final survey after day 15. Takes 10–15 minutes and pays $5. Then you're done.

Sign upQuestions people ask
How do I sign up?
Click this link to find out if you're eligible and sign up.
When do my three weeks start?
The next workday after you finish the sign-up survey. Everyone runs on their own 15 workdays, Monday through Friday.
What if I miss a survey?
Nothing happens. Missed surveys don't roll over and there's no penalty — you're just not paid for that one, and the next arrives on schedule. The $8 sign-up bonus only needs five workdays, so a few missed days won't cost you it.
I have vacation or travel during the study. Can I still take part?
Yes. At sign-up you tell us which weekdays you're regularly off, and no surveys are sent on those days. For one-off travel or time off, just skip those days — you're paid for the surveys you complete.
Is this voluntary? Can I stop?
Participation is completely voluntary, and you can stop at any point without penalty or explanation. If you stop partway, you're paid for every survey you completed up to that point. The $8 sign-up bonus and the final survey both arrive once you've completed short surveys on five workdays.
Who sees my answers?
Your responses are confidential and are seen only by the research team. Findings are reported in aggregate — nothing is reported in a way that identifies you, your employer, or anyone you mention. Once the research team has finished working with the data, your contact information is deleted.
When and how am I paid?
As an Amazon gift card, emailed to you within 10–15 business days after you finish the study. It arrives as one payment rather than weekly amounts.
Who do I contact?
Email [email protected] with anything at all — eligibility, timing, technical trouble, or payment. Questions before you sign up are welcome.
