Activity Planning
The Activity Planning worksheet assists clients in scheduling activities to enhance mood, mastery, and well-being, and is particularly beneficial for those experiencing depression.
Activity Planning
Doing things you enjoy or that are important to you is an effective way to improve your mood. You could think of these activities as an ‘anti-depressant’ or ‘stress-reducer’ – if you stop doing them, your mood may suffer.
Research shows that people are more likely to engage in tasks when they plan them in advance. This Activity Planning tool will help you plan meaningful activities and work towards them.
Overview
The Activity Planning worksheet is an evidence-based tool designed to help clients plan and execute activities throughout the week. Scheduling activities for the morning, afternoon, and evening ensures consistent activity and maximizes the likelihood of accomplishment and mood enhancement.
