What made this worth saving?
What it was · approximate portion if useful · how it fit the day · what you would repeat. Treat photo-based nutrition estimates as editable estimates, not measurements.

One photo. One useful note.
A lightweight field sheet for moments you want to remember without turning life into a tracking form.
01 / copy
The base entry.
Leave fields blank when they add no value. The photo remains the primary record.
Plain-text visual journal entry
Works in Notes, Obsidian, Notion, a text file, or any journal app.
VISUAL FIELD NOTE When: Photo: What happened: Context the photo cannot show: What I want to remember: Next time: repeat / adjust / no action Private note:
02 / prompts
Four useful variations.
Use category prompts as optional context, not a demand to quantify everything.
What happened in the session?
Activity · duration or sets/reps/load if useful · one cue that worked · one adjustment for next time.
What was the setup?
Pose · camera position · lighting · clothing · any manually measured value and its source. A photo alone cannot reliably determine weight or body-fat percentage.
What changed outside the frame?
The small win · what led to it · the part worth remembering · whether any next action is needed.
03 / take it with you
Print or download.
The files are intentionally simple so you are not locked into jurn.ee.

Keep the record honest
- Mark inferred values as approximate.
- Record the source of measurements you entered manually.
- Do not infer weight, body composition, diagnosis, or treatment response from a photo.
- Back up the photo and note together if the record matters to you.
