I noticed something about my own updates. When a week goes well, I write three lines. When it goes badly, I write a page.
Long explanations, context, "what happened was". It looks like honesty. Mostly it is me defending myself BEFORE anybody asked.
The people reading it don't need the novel. They need three things: what broke, what I am doing about it, when they hear from me next.
So bad weeks get the same three lines as good ones now. Harder to write. Much easier to read.
For the diary, mostly for me. #ceo #founder #entrepreneur #diary
