week note

A  week note  (AKA weekly notes, weekly summary , weekly roundup , or week in review ) is a post (usually a note) published at the end of the week that summarizes that week’s goals, accomplishments, events, posts, or other week-specific content the author wishes to share, similar to a monthly recap, yet for a week, and typically manually written.

Why

 * Weeknotes are a good way to reflect on what you have accomplished in the last week
 * In the future you can look back and see a summary of what happened that week
 * Over time you can see how much you have done week to week
 * You can see how you have evolved over time while reflecting on old notes

How to post
The most common way to share weeknotes is to write a blog post sharing your notes on what happened in your life in the previous week. Many weeknotes use bullet points to communicate notes as opposed to long-form prose, although there are community members that write long-form content in their weeknotes.

Weeknote Prompts
Here are a few things you could talk about in your weeknotes:


 * What you did with your personal website
 * What you learned
 * What media (books, TV shows, movies, etc.) you consumed
 * Where you travelled
 * What you ate
 * How your work went
 * Something interesting that happened to you

You can share as little or as much as you want in a weeknote. Weeknotes do not have to include personal information.

 * 🌎 On the road with 5 people (unsure how chosen) with their "top" checkin/photo and a ( See where he/she went ) button to see more of their checkins.
 * 🎉 Movies, concerts, and more with ~3 people (unsure how chosen) with their "top" entertainment related checkin/photo, and potentially a ( Check showtimes in Foursquare button for movies seen by more than one of your friends
