kellan_the_tabby I was reminded of the Fluent Self blog, and particularly the weekly chicken (check-in), a sort of being kind to yourself secular examen type of thing. I do like kellan_the_tabby's format for it very much:
But I do also like Havi's focus on superpowers.
Meanwhile: Twitter is full of Nazis, the Book of Face appears to have been implicated in messing around with votes for Trump and Brexit, and I don't see why I should keep giving either of them free content. Nopetastic.
But... a lot of my community is there. I'm a working musician and a certain amount of accessibility online is required for networking. I'm probably going to have to suck it up and have some presence on Twitter and the Book of Face until they go the way of MySpace and stop being important. But...I do think they'll go that way, and I think I need to build community elsewhere so that I have a viable exit plan. Like, for example, here.
Earlier in the year I stopped using Twitter and Facebook on Wednesdays for a while, but I wasn't very structured about the "building community elsewhere" bit.
Some of my friends do "Reading Wednesdays" and I had meant to participate in that, but I haven't done it yet.
So I'm wondering if some weekly questions or headings or whatnot here might be the way to go. Wednesday isn't, for me, a natural point at which to review my week, which I think of as starting on Sunday or Monday. But it might be a good mental breathing space, a good place to pause and check in with myself, to see how I'm doing in this week before it gets too hard or too long. I might even include what I've been reading.
It is late, and I am tired, and I will ponder this more tomorrow.

- what works?
- next time I might...
- the hard
- the good
- the plan
