I am not sure this will be of any help as I have not yet been approved and am awaiting my hearing before ALJ but I can tell you how I handled the form. I wrote the time and what I did from getting up and going to bed for one day and submitted it as an addendum. Example: 7 Am Up and put coffee on. 7:30 drank cup of coffee 8AM too tired to start day so watched TV for an hour. 9 AM Worked on this form 10AM tired took nap Noon Up again and making lunch for myself -sandwich. Etc. Etc. until I went to bed.
Maybe some others here can chime in and give an opinion on whether this was a proper thing for me to do. Like I said, I have not yet been approved. If nothing else, it will give you a guideline to assist you in completing the form. Many evenings I get in bed wondering what happened to the day. I am totally exhausted and can't remember getting anything done. I figured they asked what my day was like so I kept a log of one typical day and gave it to them with the form. May have been a WRONG decision but that is what I did.
