Handle gaps in a bowel journal during clock-change weekends

Keep missing records honest. A clock change can make the hour you recall less obvious when you review the date later.

What makes this useful

A gap in logging is a gap in the record, not automatically a gap in bowel movements.

Check the displayed visit time and use a note if you are unsure which clock time you remember. A consistent label such as “clock change” helps connect the day you remember with the visit you saved.

A practical way to begin

  1. Resume with the next real visit you can describe.
  2. If adding an earlier visit, correct its date and only record details you actually remember.
  3. If clock-change weekends interrupted logging, resume with a real visit. A short “clock change” note can explain the context you remember without creating entries for days you cannot recall.

An example of useful context

“Clock-change Sunday, after waking; exact time uncertain.”

Are you certain about the hour, or is the calendar date the clearer memory?

Use your own wording and the details you remember. A short, recognizable note makes it easier to find the visit later.
