I personally like the ability to log the info into excel so I can learn to watch the trend vs relying on my memory. I can always log the info after coming back from the pond if I scribble down some quick notes on what I did, caught and observed while at the pond.
It could be anything from fish, water temp, ambient temp, weed growth, saw a heron, ducks and geese are migrating, caught my first fish, saw fish with fungus, PH, alkalinity, turbidity, secchi disk readings, yellow perch spawning.....
My memory is faulty, and my spelling is probably worse....excel remembers everything as long as I save the data.
