Use a 90-day bowel journal during a new schedule

Keep recent history available for review. When start times or daily plans change, an old routine may no longer describe the day clearly.

What makes this useful

Details become harder to remember as the interval between a visit and a review grows.

Use the date the schedule began as a reference point without assuming it explains an observation. A consistent label such as “new schedule” helps connect the day you remember with the visit you saved.

A practical way to begin

  1. Open the 90-day view to see the available saved entries.
  2. Use search or custom dates to make that longer list manageable.
  3. Repeated occasions of a new schedule can share a “new schedule” label. Combine that search with the dates of one occasion to avoid mixing unrelated visits from the available 90 days.

An example of useful context

“First week on the new schedule.”

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