•  Thank  you:  72  out  of  74  quarterly  survey  submitted  (97%)    

•  Thank  you:  Most  daily  survey  submitted  within  1-­‐2  hours  from  receiving  the  text    

•  We  have  enough  data  to  share  your  individual  daily  survey  scores  with  each  of  you  for  your  records    

•  We  will  never  share  your  individual  data  with  others  

•  Let  us  know  if  you  need  assistance  retrieving  your  Amazon  gift  cards  (Last  one  was  sent  on  November  30).

•  We  heard  you  that  most  of  you  are  very  busy  

•  Reminders  can  be  annoying.  Make  sure  your  phone  does  not  send  extra  alerts  

•  We  cannot  record  the  CoP.  It  would  require  a  signed  consent  form  because  this  is  part  of  a  research  study  

•  Please  keep  letting  us  know  about  glitches  (e.g.  getting  the  survey  even  though  you  reported  being  out  of  office,  not  receiving  reminders,  etc)
