@jb.heydingus.net Hey, I just came across this 7 things concept of yours and I like it! How do you keep track of the things during the week until Sunday, and does it take a lot of conscious effort to remember to write them down?

@ZeroOne Oh hey, I just saw your mentions, sorry! I’m glad you like the series! 🙂

It definitely takes some effort to remember to save things, but as long as I’m reading articles or keeping up with social throughout the week (I’ve not done so well lately), things always surface that fit what I like to share.

As for how I save them, I use Shortcuts. I’ve set one up that formats the link right and gives me a field to type out my little blurb about it, and the saves it to Drafts. And then on Sundays I’ll run another that creates a drafts from a template with the final post format. I copy and paste each of the things I’ve saved into the list, do a final check, and then post it!
