Weeknotes

A weeknote is a weekly checkin of activity. Matt Webb has written about their history and why he writes them. I try to write them for one of two reasons: when I'm in work, it reminds me to continue doing work on my personal projects, even when I feel there's too much to do; when I'm out of work, it helps to measure the passing of time.

The poker chips were a lightweight method of measuring my time I started in 2020 as a response to the timelessness of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. The different colours are meaningful.

Latest weeknotes.

1. Chips for week 48, 2021 December 06 — Made yet more GIFs. Weeknote also talks about how I measure some deadlines, and has a nerdy aside about an aspect of the GIF specification.
2. Chips for week 47, 2021 November 29 — I achieved nothing.
3. Chips for week 46, 2021 November 22 — Basically nothing, apart from a tiny workflow change.
4. Chips for week 45, 2021 November 15 — A low effort week, just some small fixes and improvements to GIFs, and another episode of Ted Lasso.
