Calendars are essential for just about anyone who wants to stay on track toward their goals . In order to ensure that we fit in all of the important “to-dos” and complete tasks essential to our well-being, writing it down and tracking our progress are often good strategies. You can also apply this technique to create your own recovery calendar after stroke. A recovery calendar can help you to keep up with a daily schedule, and also reward you with the satisfaction of crossing out the completed goals. It is a simple way to stay motivated and concentrate on recovery.
How Does A Recovery Calendar Work?
You can use several different formats (see some of our examples below). A recovery calendar should include your participation in rehab exercises, symptoms and functional improvements that you’re noticing.
Benefits of a Recovery Calendar
