The habits that turn scattered notes into a record worth keeping: timing, sites, and logging at the moment it happens.

A tracking log is only as useful as it is consistent. If half your entries live in a notes app, a few are on a sticky note, and the rest are in your head, the data cannot tell you anything. Here is how to keep a record you can actually trust.

## Write down the three things that matter

Every entry should capture **what you took**, the **date and time**, and the **site**. With those three you can reconstruct adherence, rotation, and rough timing later. Without them, you are guessing.

## Log at the moment, not from memory

The biggest gap in most logs is the entry someone "definitely remembers" making. Record it as you do it. A home-screen widget or a one-tap entry removes the friction that makes people skip it.

## Rotate sites on paper, not just in your head

Keeping a simple record of where each entry went is what makes real rotation possible. A body map that remembers usage and shows which site has rested longest does this for you, so rotation happens by default instead of by willpower.

## Keep it yours

A log full of personal health detail does not belong in someone else's cloud. On-device storage with an easy export means the record stays useful and private — yours to keep, yours to delete.
