Background. Awareness of the relationship between everyday occupations and subjective experience could help clients make changes that promote health. Purpose. This study evaluated user-perceived utility of the Daily Experiences of Pleasure, Productivity, and Restoration Profile (PPR Profile), a time-use survey designed to uncover users' experiences of pleasure, productivity, and restoration and to promote awareness of how these experiences are related to daily occupations. Method. Eighteen participants completed the PPR Profile on 2 days within 1 week and were subsequently interviewed. Content analysis was used to uncover themes. Findings. Analysis revealed that completion of the PPR Profile requires time and energy, completion more than once is useful, and the PPR Profile contributes to awareness. Four subthemes of awareness were identified: awareness of the here and now, insights into one's occupations, context matters, and what is and what might be. Implications. Results support the utility of the PPR Profile to promote users' awareness of their occupations and related subjective experiences. This awareness may encourage positive change. Further research is recommended to continue to evaluate the PPR Profile's clinical utility.
