Keep track of anything you want to keep an eye on, from habits and chores to symptoms. Chronicling shows how long it's been, how often things happen, and which days and times they tend to happen. Some things happen every day, like coffee, a walk or your medication. Others come and go: changing the bed sheets, a headache, calling home. Chronicling handles both, so it all lives in one place.
