A practical checklist

  1. Record each day with its own date and worked section.
  2. Attach a measured daily quantity only to the day it belongs to.
  3. If only a job total is known, label it as a total in notes rather than pretending it is a daily measure.
Illustrative recordA worked example

April 22 notes: “West half seeded; daily quantity not measured.” April 23: “East half completed; source notebook gives 240 kg for both days combined.” The combined figure is clearly scoped.

What to avoid

Repeating 240 kg on both entries makes the job appear to use 480 kg. Do not duplicate a whole-job quantity across daily records.
