+| Log to Daily Note | Automatically log completed tasks to your daily note | Off |
+
+When enabled, completed tasks are automatically appended to your daily note with:
+
+- Task name and list category
+- Time spent vs. estimated time
+- Completion timestamp
+- Performance indicator (under/over/on target)
+
+**Example entry:**
+
+```
+- [x] Write project proposal | 💼 Work | ⏱️ 45min / 30min (15min over estimate) | ✅ 14:30
+```

+**Requirements:** The core "Daily Notes" plugin must be enabled in Obsidian settings. Focus Task respects your Daily Notes configuration (folder, date format, and template).
