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](https://indieweb.org/weeknotes), which grew out of the UK digital government community and spread through personal blogs. [Giles Turnbull's guide](https://doingweeknotes.com/) and [Tracy Durnell's reflections](https://tracydurnell.com/2024/07/30/using-personal-weeknotes-as-a-tool-for-attention/) shaped my approach. My friend [Genehack](https://genehack.blog/archives/) introduced me to weeknotes and inspired me to start my own after he'd been doing them for well over a year.
