What Is the Energy Level Tracker?
The Energy Level Tracker lets you mark how energetic you feel at different hours of the day. It displays hourly rows from 6:00 through 21:00, with four choices for each: Low, Medium, High, and Peak. It is a quick visual exercise for considering when demanding work might fit your current sense of energy.
This online energy tracker uses your own observations, not measurements from a wearable or health service. It does not diagnose fatigue or calculate an average. Its main output is the set of levels you select and a list of hours explicitly marked Peak. You can use that snapshot to think about task timing without treating it as a scientific record.
How to Use the Energy Level Tracker
Find the row for the hour you want to describe and click Low, Medium, High, or Peak. You can fill the hours in any order and leave others untouched. Clicking a different level on the same row replaces its earlier value, so you can correct an estimate during the session.
The buttons fill cumulatively up to your selection. For example, choosing High colors the lower levels as well; it still records one level for that hour, not several separate observations. When any hour is set to Peak, a Peak hours summary appears below the rows. Change that hour to a lower level if it no longer belongs in the summary. No separate save action is provided.
Using an Energy Map in Daily Planning
- Before a writing day, identify hours when you expect to feel especially alert. Consider using those windows for difficult drafting rather than filling them automatically with routine administration.
- During a study day, mark your perceived energy as you go. Compare the snapshot with your own notes about which tasks felt easier or harder, without assuming the tracker measures performance.
- After a demanding morning, revise the remaining hours to reflect your current expectations. The tool allows changes but does not retain earlier versions of those choices.
- For a personal routine review, use the hourly layout to separate a general feeling of tiredness from a more specific account of when your energy seemed low.
Tips for Useful Energy Check-Ins
- Use the labels consistently. Decide what Low and Peak mean to you before filling many rows, rather than changing your standard halfway through the day.
- Separate observation from prediction. A morning estimate of evening energy is not the same as an evening check-in, and the tool does not distinguish between them.
- Keep additional context elsewhere if it matters. There are no fields for dates, sleep, meals, symptoms, or notes, so the colored rows alone cannot explain why energy changed.
- Record anything you want to compare later before leaving. Your selections are held on this page, not saved as a daily history in this browser.
- Treat the summary as a planning prompt. Only Peak selections appear there; High hours are not included, and the tracker does not automatically identify your best hour from lower ratings.

Frequently asked questions
Which hours can I track?
The tracker has 16 fixed hourly rows from 6:00 through 21:00. It does not offer overnight hours or custom intervals.
Does it automatically detect my peak hours?
No. The Peak hours summary lists only hours you manually mark Peak.
Can I compare energy across several days?
Not within this tool. There is no date selector, saved daily history, or comparison chart.
Why are several level buttons colored for one hour?
The visual fill extends through the selected level. Each hour still has just one recorded selection.
