Finding Quick Ways to Manage Surveillance Logs

I’ve been experimenting with different methods for logging surveillance data on the fly, and it’s made a huge difference in my efficiency. Using an app like Notion lets me input details quickly during a stakeout rather than waiting to write things down later. Anyone else found any time-saving tools or hacks for keeping track of their logs?

Have you tried using voice notes? It’s super fast during stakeouts. Apps like Otter.ai can transcribe them later.

I totally get using apps for efficiency, but I’ve found that jotting quick notes in a simple notebook during stakeouts helps me stay focused. It can be faster than switching apps mid-situation, plus it feels less distracting. Ever tried blending both methods?
