Daily Mood and
Energy Log

ADHD Executive Function Tools

A weekly grid for recording mood words, energy, and context
you may want to discuss.

Where This Tool Helps

This log keeps mood words, energy, time of day, and context visible across one week. It does not explain changes through ADHD or medication and does not determine whether a pattern is clinical.

Use client-defined mood words rather than rating mood as good or bad. Energy can be noted separately on a personal scale whose meaning you write down.

The steps below are designed to make tracking reliable across the week - consistent enough to create a personal record without adding friction that causes you to abandon it by Wednesday.

How to Use This Tracker

Keep it visible. Print this page and put it somewhere you will see it at each tracking time - taped to your monitor, on your nightstand, next to your coffee maker. Out of sight means out of mind.
Choose check-in times you can repeat when practical. Use times that fit your routine. Rough consistency matters more than precision. If you miss a slot, leave it blank rather than back-filling from memory.
Use the scale consistently. Use your own mood words; energy may use a personal 1-5 scale. Rate what is true now, not what you think it should be.
Log the energy column honestly. Energy and mood are related but not identical. Some days you feel fine but are running on empty. The distinction matters.
Complete the bottom section at end of week. The patterns field is where the data becomes useful. Look for days that cluster high or low, times of day that are consistently different, and anything - sleep, activity, schedule disruption - that appears to connect.

Coaching and Health Scope

This is a coaching reflection aid, not therapy, diagnosis, medical care, or a validated clinical instrument. Use it to record your own observations and prepare questions, not to identify a condition or choose treatment. Adapt or stop any prompt that feels unsafe or distressing. Bring persistent sleep, mood, anxiety, medication, physical-symptom, or safety concerns to a licensed health professional; use emergency or local crisis services for immediate danger.
