Daily phone logs


The blank logs that follow are for your convenience to track the phone calls that you are receiving as well as those that you are placing. It will help you to monitor who is calling you, as well as the calls you are placing, the purpose of the call, and how long the call lasted. Photocopy the blank logs so you have enough logs to monitor at least a couple of days, so you can see whether any patterns emerge in your phone calls that will help you to become more efficient.

Track your phone usage for one complete work day and evening as well as one weekend or leisure day, making a note of who calls you, who you call, how long the call lasted, and the purpose of the call. First do a log for calls received, then do one for calls placed.
