Start a bowel journal during exam weeks

Create a first record you can return to. A packed assessment schedule can make a week difficult to reconstruct afterward.

What makes this useful

Start with a visit that actually happened, rather than trying to reconstruct an entire week.

Use a neutral exam-week label and record observations separately from how you explain them. A consistent label such as “exam week” helps connect the day you remember with the visit you saved.

A practical way to begin

  1. Choose the closest shape, answer how the visit felt, then record duration and whether you felt finished.
  2. Add any optional note or visit-time correction before saving, then review the saved result.
  3. For exam weeks, one recognizable detail is enough to start: “Exam week; visit before the morning session.” Add it only if it describes your visit.

An example of useful context

“Exam week; visit before the morning session.”

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