This grid is completed daily to record important statistics, eg hours slept overnight, daytime sleep, rest periods, time spent using High, Medium and Low activity etc.
It is a snapshot of each day to build up a picture of what works and what doesn't. There are also columns for the Symptom Score and a comment box.
You could change some column headings temporarily to help you record a specific activity that you are gradually increasing, for example using a mobile phone or cooking. If you increase the activity weekly or monthly this is the place to record it. You can look back over the previous days/weeks/months to see what you were doing, how many minutes or hours a day you were doing it and how it affected you.
Each sheet covers 3 weeks, I am currently on sheet number 456! I have found this to be the most useful form. I look back over the previous weeks/months/years to see how I managed a difficult period, the amount of 'rest' time I had or to see how much I've improved.
