Documentation
How to keep a clear record of dates, times, mileage, conditions, and conversations, and how to store it so it stays readable.
Written record
01
One file, one incident
Keep every note, photo, and receipt for a single event together, named with the date.
02
Log conversations
Date, who you spoke with, reference number, and what was agreed. One line each is enough.
03
Record mileage
Odometer readings before and after service create a simple, checkable timeline.
