I started these Daily Debriefs a fortnight ago, recording what I got up to each day. The idea was to capture the inputs and outputs of an author’s working day.

I kept it up for two weeks. I enjoyed the brief daily reflection but I found myself jotting down things as I did them during the day (instead of just doing them) then spending up to half an hour bringing it all together into a blog post during the evening (instead of doing more of the things I was talking about or just relaxing).

I still like the idea of capturing what I’m up to. Perhaps I could do it as ad hoc Bluesky or Threads posts, or Instagram stories, throughout the day? Or save it up and share in the newsletter I’m already sending out twice a month?

Who knows!

Regardless, I always recommend subscribing to my newsletter:

• It’s where I share all my important updates,
• I’ve been sending it out regularly now for years, and
• I know it’s reaching readers in their email inboxes (instead of whooshing past on fickle social media feeds).

However, if you do want to chance your hand on the socials, it’d be great to have you there too. You can find me on the usual suspects: Facebook (@gbralph), Instagram (@gbralph_), Threads (@gbralph), TikTok (@gbralph), and Bluesky (@gbralph.com).

And now, one last daily debrief snapshot from my riverside run yesterday where you can see tree debris washed up after the recent wild weather:
