A good daily log starts while the work is happening. Wait until Friday and details disappear: who was there, what arrived, what was delayed, and what needs checking tomorrow.

What to record every day

• What was actually done today
• Who worked on site and which subcontractor was there
• What arrived and what is still missing
• What is blocking the next step

You do not need a long story. Three to five clear lines are better than a page filled in after the day has mixed with other jobs.

Close the day in five minutes

At the end of the day, open the project, write the update, and add two photos that show progress. If there is a problem, write who needs to answer and when you need the answer.

When the note stays next to the photos and tasks, you can use it before a client call or supplier coordination without searching a notebook or WhatsApp group.
