I promise this isn't an ad. I did this in Excel for 2023.

How do you feel about it?
I used to use an app to track my moods and how my days went. It always lowered my mood to do the tracking, so I quit.
I think this is super important to highlight. When it comes to mental health: Not everything works for everyone (Actually I'd be genuinely surprised if that was true anywhere 😄).
No-one should ever feel bad or disheartened because something that others found success in doesn't work for them. There will be something that does work. It just might take a little longer to find it.
This app wants you to buy premium but is still functional as a free user. I use it too and it works.
I may just do one in a notebook.
Analog life...
You could buy a calendar and some colored markers, note your mood twice or three times per day (continuing with the analog theme: at sunrise, noon, sunset), and pen-in any anomalous activities or reasons for mood changes.
You just couldn't pull any data from your results later, which is the part i like.
Yeah neat idea.
I'm OK with no data. I'm a programmer by trade and as I progress in life, the more I feel like doing things in offline ways. I enjoy the tactility of pen and paper for example.
