What it helps you do
- Plan each day against a baseline instead of against yesterday
- Catch post-exertional crashes that arrive a day late
- See which rest actually restores you
- Show a clinician how many days were lost and why
How to use it
- Each morning, circle your energy and write what the day will ask of you. The grey example row shows how little you need to write.
- Rate symptoms the same day, then again the following morning in the “next day” column.
- At the end of the week, look at what came before each bad day, not just the bad day itself.
- Pencil in next week on page two and leave the day after anything big light.
