I have spent the last 20 years of my career endlessly campaigning for the journalism business to take the idea of community-building around its journalism seriously.

Now it’s finally, finally happening I should feel vindicated and celebratory. But largely I just feel tired.

Replacing scrolling with microjournaling:

Microjournaling is exactly what it sounds like. Instead of setting aside 15 minutes to write in your journal, you’re going to shrink that to a minute or two. A microjournaling session could even last under 60 seconds. It’s just enough time to dash off a thought or two.

A cartoon-style illustration of a pug dressed as a superhero, wearing a red mask, red cape, and a blue suit with a large yellow number 6 on its chest. The pug stands confidently with its paws on its hips. Beside it, a smiling cartoon ghost with a simple white sheet-like appearance looks on proudly. The background is light blue with a few rounded clouds, giving the scene a cheerful and whimsical feel.
