Traveling business people how well do you keep your mileage log? Is the IRS strict about every single detail of the trip and how many miles per day?

my tax professor told us that he would keep a log for 2 different months out of the year and would just use that as justification for the rest of the year

I try to write an approximate mileage each day on my calendar for that day (or previous day). I'm not exact but close enough to get a number I'm comfortable with and I keep all of my old calendars.

I write mine down everyday. I wouldn't feel comfortable approximating my mileage.

My understanding:
A mileage log has to show:
1. date
2. business purpose of trip
3. mileage (start/finish)
I do a daily entry. It is legit.

I do. I use Microsoft streets and trips for my routes and it saves it on there

I just write off my monthly payments, and all my gas expenditures. Should I not be doing that?

Is going from home to work and back considered business or personal?
