Activity & fatigue monitoring diary
Before trying to make changes to how much you try to do each day, it’s a good idea to first get an idea of how much you can currently do before tiring. Over the next week, try to complete the form below each day. Enter each day as you go, and throughout the day record what you do (including times that you are resting), how long you were able to do that for before having to stop, what your fatigue level was, and how these relate to your stress levels.
Once you have completed the forms for a week, you might want to complete a summary by asking yourself these questions:
- What activities did you usually engage in throughout the week (what were the most common ones)?
- What activities did you tend to avoid, or stop shortly after starting (e.g., it could be those with short duration and high fatigue ratings)?
- Why?
- What activities did you tend to overdo (e.g., it could be those with long duration and high fatigue ratings)?
- What were your reasons for overdoing them?
- Have a look at the 7 days. Do you see any patterns? For example, did you have a really busy day followed by a day of rest? Or did you have a busy 3 or so hours, followed by a period of collapsing?
