Best practices

Capture lightly

A title is enough to prevent loss.
Do not invent detail merely to satisfy a form.

Write for your returning self

Prefer a concrete next action and a short return-context note over a long status report.
Use narrative updates when the meaning of movement matters more than a number.

Choose measurement deliberately

Use quantity for a meaningful numeric domain, cadence for repeated occurrences within calendar periods, and milestones for distinct outcomes.
Retire an incompatible tracker and create a replacement instead of rewriting history.

Use reminders as delivery intentions

Preview local and UTC times before saving.
Choose notification behavior based on whether information, acknowledgment, or completion is actually required.
Treat a degraded Anchor connection as an actionable delivery condition, not as proof that the Life Tracker reminder was lost.
