If you maintain a /now page like I do, what do you write in there? What’s a good enough update? I keep swinging between very text-heavy and too terse – I haven’t found the right balance yet.

@amit I don't know that there are any rules. Take a look at enough NowNowNow and you'll see a few different takes. Good for ideas and feeling out what's right for you.

@amit makes me think of digital gardens... like: www.craft.do/s/prWu9oh...

@amit I keep it short by just saying what I'm doing now or my actual mindset.

@amit For me, posting on micro.blog is mostly about things I want to remember. It's the same with my Now page. I'm trying to get a sense of what I'm working on when. I hope to look back on it in a year and see something that is interesting to me, at least.

@patrickrhone Thank you. That's what I had done when I'd decided on my last format. I'm thinking too much I guess. I just want it minimize the friction - possibly automate somehow?

@paulopinto yep, that's what I intend to do. I just can't make a routine stick.

@agilelisa Using a category for the now page for sure reduces the friction to keep the page updated. Interesting way to do it. Thank you!

@amit I always feel that a ‘Now’ page would become too much work for me - mine would always become a ‘Months Ago’ page. At least a digital garden could be relatively timeless!

@amit I used to try and maintain one and I’ve thought about bringing it back but I can’t see a place for it. It feels like if I’m posting regularly I should be sharing my work so why do I need a specific page to state it…

@amit Just in case you find it useful for ideas, here is mine: frankm.info

@amit Well, as I admitted in my Now Page update today, I only just this morning thought of making a reminder for myself for it so I’m the worst one when it comes to automation of such things.
