How to use it
Three steps
- Download the PDF (email-gated, free) and open it alongside the work you want to organise.
- Fill the 'your value' or log columns from your own systems for one period first, then track the trend rather than the absolute number.
- Share the adapted version with whoever will use it and revisit it after the first month — most teams trim it once the habit sticks.
