Most of you just wrapped on a big week. If you're reading in the future, today is December 29th - you do the math. π

So - imagine the Christmas 2024 version of you and, for his/her sake, try this handy tool I made:
β
β Type in your written reflections - what worked? what didn't?
β Add any attachments you'd like to reference next year
β Add any links you'd like to reference next year
β Pick a date in the future when you'd like to receive an email containing all of the above
β
It's an easy way to capture everything while it's still fresh in your mind. Then, you can let my friendly robot remember the details. He'll only appear in your inbox when you ask him to. π€
Try it! π
