Start a bowel journal during split shifts

Create a first record you can return to. Two work periods on one date can make a single workday label unclear.

What makes this useful

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

Distinguish the first shift, the gap, and the second shift in plain words. A consistent label such as “split shift” 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 split shifts, one recognizable detail is enough to start: “Between the two shifts, during the afternoon gap.” Add it only if it describes your visit.

An example of useful context

“Between the two shifts, during the afternoon gap.”

Which part of the split shift contains the visit you want to review?

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