Best Practices for Maximum Impact
Log within 24 hours — Memory fades fast. Same-day entries carry more weight.
Take photos — Timestamp photos of activities, meals, or any concerns.
Keep it factual — "She arrived 25 minutes late" beats "She's always irresponsible."
Back it up — Keep digital copies. Email yourself a photo of each page.
