Weeknotes: September 30 - October 5, 2024
Earlier this year, I started creating weeknotes and posting them in my private Day One journal using a template I put together. While I’m not quite ready to share the full notes publicly, I thought I’d start posting a few highlights here—nothing too personal, just a snapshot of the media I consumed over the past week and a quote I’ve been reflecting on. The other sections of my weeknotes dive into work and personal life, and I’m still figuring out how to share those parts in a way that feels both “safe” and compelling.
I’ve been under the weather lately, so this week involved a bit more TV than usual. The quote comes from a book that’s been sitting on my shelf for almost five years since I first got it as a gift. But hey, better late than never, right? So, here’s a sneak peek into my weeknotes.

##Quote of the Week
“For many, the big choices in life often aren’t really choices; they are quicksand. You just sink into the place you happen to be standing.” - The Second Mountain by David Brooks
All the more reason to be careful (and intentional) about where you stand.
