Activity Diary (Hourly Time Intervals)
The activity diary is an useful tool for tracking and planning daily activities.
Activity Diary (Hourly Time Intervals)
Our mood and behavior affect each other. For instance, when we feel low or depressed, we may become less active. Feeling anxious can lead us to check things repeatedly or avoid certain situations. Other difficulties such as pain, trouble sleeping, or life stress can also affect how active we are and how we feel.
Becoming more aware of how you spend can help you understand how activities influence your mood (or other difficulties you’re experiencing). You can use this Activity Diary (Hourly Time Intervals) to:
- Plan tasks and activities that you would like to do during the day.
- Keep a record of how you spend your time hour by hour.
Let’s get started.
Overview

Activity diaries can be used for activity monitoring during an assessment phase of therapy, symptom monitoring during therapy, correlating activity with symptoms, or activity scheduling as part of behavioral activation.
