KEEP THE RECEIPTS Save specific moments as green flags or red flags so important behavior does not get blurred by time. Add a title, private note, and optional photo or screenshot to remember what actually happened. SEE THE PATTERN Review relationship timelines, recurring feelings, flag totals, and 30-day trends. Notice which connections feel supportive, draining, calm, confusing, or mixed.
