What makes this useful
Details become harder to remember as the interval between a visit and a review grows.
Wait until a convenient moment and preserve uncertainty if a detail is no longer clear. A consistent label such as “screen break” helps connect the day you remember with the visit you saved.
A practical way to begin
- Open the 90-day view to see the available saved entries.
- Use search or custom dates to make that longer list manageable.
- Repeated occasions of screen breaks can share a “screen break” 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
“After the screen break; recording the earlier visit now.”
Which details are still clear enough to record after the break?
Use your own wording and the details you remember. A short, recognizable note makes it easier to find the visit later.
