Day-of-Week Pattern
Whether a specific day of the week is consistently your strongest, and how to use it.
What is Day-of-Week Pattern?
Day-of-Week Pattern checks whether any single day of the week (Monday through Sunday) is consistently your highest-energy day. If one day stands out by 1.5+ points above your weekly average, it flags it.
Why it matters
Some people with ADHD have a rhythm tied to the week, not just the day. Maybe Tuesdays are consistently strong because Monday provided enough activation to carry momentum. Maybe Fridays are always low because the week's demands have drained the resource pool.
If you have a standout day, you can plan around it. If you don't (most people are fairly even), that tells you your energy is driven more by your cycle phase than your weekly schedule.
How it works
Day-of-Week Pattern averages your energy for each day of the week over at least 28 days of data. If any day is 1.5+ points above the weekly average, it's flagged as your peak day.
When today happens to be your peak day, the signal tells you so you can take advantage of it.
Reading your results
| Value | What it means |
|---|---|
| A specific day (e.g., "Tuesday") | This day is consistently your highest-energy day |
| Even | No standout day. Your energy varies by cycle phase, not by day of the week |
What you can do
- If you have a peak day: Try to schedule important work, tough conversations, or creative projects on that day when possible.
- If today is your peak day: The signal tells you in real time. Take advantage of it.
- If no standout day: Focus on the other timing signals (Peak Window, Dip Window) for scheduling guidance.
