Hey, well done on the pass and getting agency work so quickly!As Stu mentions, I currently work 5 days Monday - Friday in an office, then every other Sunday driving. I started off by recording it all via manual entries, but as you say, this is tedious.
The last time I tried recording the non-driving work was an occasion when I hadn’t driven for a month or 6 weeks. I found out there and then that there is a limit to the number of entries you can actually make on a manual entry.
Now I just make a manual entry with my working time up until the end of my last shift, followed by a period of “?”, then back to working time for the first few minutes of the current shift before the card has gone in. I then fill in the back of tachograph paper with my details along with a description of my working time + breaks for the days between the two shifts.
See below the DVSA response when I checked it with them.
The record of other work must be either:
• written manually on a chart; or
• written manually on printout paper a digital or smart tachograph; or
• made by using the manual input facility of a digital or smart tachograph
It is not acceptable to use a logbook, timesheet or any other method to record other work and rest, the only 3 acceptable methods are those I have listed above. Training requirements relating to the operation of tachograph units can be sought from your operator/employer.Hope this helps you!

Thanks makes sense, do you print out end of driving shift and then write on the back or at the start? And what do you record as in the between or just not do a manual entry and continue from there?
