I try to document in a way that is clear, factual, and usable later by someone who was not in the room. That means separating observed facts from assumptions, avoiding emotional language, and capturing enough context that the record explains what happened, what was communicated, and what the next step is.

I also think good documentation is disciplined about tone. Sensitive documentation should not read like a diary entry, a legal brief, or a personal opinion...
