Plan Versus Completion

The central review shows planned activities next to completion outcomes so follow-through is visible.

Mood Or Reinforcement

When configured, mood or reinforcement information is tied to specific activities rather than collected as a global rating.

Cycle-To-Cycle Use

Prior planning cycles can remain available to compare what was realistic, repeated, modified, or replaced.

Does the diary recommend activities automatically?

No. Activities are entered by the client or practitioner; the system does not prescribe unsupported activity recommendations.

Can missed activities remain useful?

Yes. Missed activities remain reviewable and can inform discussion of barriers and next-cycle planning.

Can mood or reinforcement be captured?

Yes, when configured. The information is tied to specific activities and supports practitioner-led review.

What happens if a planned activity is vague?

The activity can remain draft or need clarification until it is specific enough to attempt.
