Weeknotes are short, personal reflections on the week—what I shipped, read, played, cooked, noticed, and thought about. They’re a way to mark time and notice patterns.

The format comes from the weeknotes movement, which grew out of the UK digital government community and spread through personal blogs. Giles Turnbull’s guide and Tracy Durnell’s reflections shaped my approach. My friend Genehack introduced me to weeknotes and inspired me to start my own after he’d been doing them for well over a year.
