Introduction & Theoretical Background
Use the Task Planning and Achievement Record to plan daily tasks and record goal attainment. This worksheet can be helpful as part of a program of behavioral activation to encourage consistent behavior. It is most suited for encouraging frequent or repeated activites such as exercise or self-care. It can also be very useful for patients suffering with pain or fatigue where helpful behaviors may have become sporadic.
Therapist Guidance
For activity monitoring clients should be instructed to record their activity in the 1 hour time slots throughout the day.
For activity scheduling clients should be instructed to plan and schedule desired activities in advance, and to record whether the scheduled activities were completed.
