đź—ŁWrite the way real people talk
Above everything else, you should always aim for your writing to be understood. Find your own voice, and use it to interact with your community and peers in the sector.
đź’Use sub-headings
We recommend that you begin with some subheadings, and work from there. By laying out a plan for yourself, you're less likely to get stuck later on.
✍️Write first, edit later
This is not the next great American novel, it's a blog post! Set a timer if you need to, and don't let your inner critic step in until a first draft is ready.
đź‘Ą Share your work
Although weeknotes are a great tool for self-reflection, you will get the most out of them by sharing your work! Receiving positive feedback can be a great motivator to keep going.

Getting started
Most importantly, practice. The sooner you can make weeknotes part of your routine, the easier they'll be to write.
Try not to overthink what you share. If you're not confident about your writing, ask a colleague to be your beta reader.
