Diary Study Daily Check-in
Longitudinal research entries: today's usage, context, friction, and mood.
4 questions · 1 page · about 2 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start
Diary studies capture what memory flattens: the Tuesday frustration, the context that made Thursday different. This daily check-in keeps entries fast and comparable – usage occasions, context, friction encountered today, and a mood pulse – sustaining participation across the study's weeks.
The skipped-day tolerance is built in: a two-minute form completed most days beats a rich one abandoned by Thursday. Replace [the product/behaviour] with what your study is about before the first day.
