A short note that will still make sense later
A personal wellbeing entry preserves an event's time, your observation and relevant circumstances. This section concerns concise notes about the day, sleep, energy, stress and symptoms. Separate the sensation from a suspected cause and use consistent descriptions when comparing entries. A personal rating is not a diagnosis; discuss an unclear or worrying symptom with a clinician rather than explaining it with one emoji.
Vesometr's free-form diary provides five mood choices and text. Version 1.2.2 has no separate built-in numerical sleep, energy or pain scales: describe these observations manually and explain any chosen ratings. Wellbeing attached to blood pressure differs from the free-form diary. The version 1.2.2 PDF supports blood-pressure context but excludes free-form notes. Prepare important consultation explanations separately instead of assuming the whole diary automatically appears in the report.
How to choose a mood scale for your diary
Use Vesometr’s five mood emojis consistently without treating a personal marker as a clinical assessment.
How to record sleep in your well-being diary
Distinguish time in bed from estimated sleep and label wearable data separately from personal observations.
How to track your energy levels throughout the week
Subjective energy reflects many factors at once, so it is helpful to keep assessment times consistent and contextualized.
Stress diary: what to write down besides assessment
The context of stress is more useful than a single number by briefly recording the event, the bodily reaction, and the action that followed.
How to Use the Pain Scale in the Symptom Diary
The pain scale helps describe changes in the same sensation over time, but does not indicate cause or determine urgency on its own.
Why is it important to record the time of onset of symptoms?
Time helps restore consistency regarding sleep, food, exercise and medications, even when the cause is not yet known.

How to do a monthly well-being review
