How to use the checklist without getting overwhelmed

Step 1: Mark what is happening now

Do not try to track every symptom forever. Start with what is active now.

Step 2: Pick your top 5

Choose the symptoms that are:

  • most frequent
  • most disruptive
  • newest
  • hardest to explain

Step 3: Add context, not essays

For each active symptom, track:

  • when it happened
  • how strong it felt
  • whether it affected sleep or function
  • whether anything changed that day
