Weeknotes

As a public servant I write (nearly) weekly notes to let people see what I do at work. It also helps me to reflect on, process and learn from the week.

Here’s some great advice if you’d like to start doing weeknotes.

  1. Away - 2 to 6 November

    Play and prototypes.

  2. Lakes - 19 to 30 October

    Develop, discover, diverse, distraction.

  3. Card - 12 to 16 October

    Show, plan, open, quarter.

  4. Plate - 5 to 9 October

    Things go off, things come on, and some things are still there.

  5. Live - 28 September to 2 October

    New sites, err, find a way.

  6. Edinburgh - 21 to 25 September

    Southside calling.

    Hack t’planet!

    One does not simply plan the sprint.

    Finishing the cycle and planning a firebreak.

    Taking shape and valuing community.

    Ticking things off and getting messy.
