One Week in Public
Seven days for turning one week of real work into a useful artifact, decision, feedback request, and retrospective.
Use one real week
This challenge is for a project already in motion. Do not create seven unrelated posts. Let each day reveal one part of the same work.
Day 1: Define the week's outcome
Write what can be inspected by the end of the week. Name one thing you are intentionally not doing.
Day 2: Show the starting point
Publish a screenshot, commit, sketch, test, or paragraph that records the current state.
Day 3: Explain one decision
Name the alternatives, constraint, and reason for the current choice.
Day 4: Share a difficulty
Explain where the work became uncertain. Ask a focused question only if an answer can change a decision.
Day 5: Ship the smallest outcome
Make the week's meaningful change available to another person.
Day 6: Observe a response
Watch someone try it, review a real use, or inspect where readers stopped. Separate behavior from interpretation.
Day 7: Write the weekly note
Record what changed, what failed, what you learned, and the next small outcome. Use the weekly update template.
Complete the week honestly
If the planned result did not ship, publish the actual state and the decision it created. A precise incomplete record is more useful than a vague success claim.
