Let
ter.
Memories short enough to be a choice, long enough to be a mirror.
Every work session ends with a one-page letter to the next one: what got done, what broke, what comes next. Teams stop losing context between days, branches and people — continuity becomes a habit instead of a heroic effort.

The template / five sections, always
The template
is the product.
Five sections in a fixed order. The Pain Log comes third on purpose — before anyone plans next steps, the letter tells the truth about what broke.

The done list
What now verifiably exists. Proof of progress — not a list of intentions.

The pain log
What was tried, what failed, how it was worked around. The mistakes your team stops paying for twice.

The working state
The temporary setup a session leaves behind — captured, instead of walking out the door with the closed laptop.

Private note to public voice
Letters can become redacted drafts for your company blog — names, secrets and client references stripped, a human approves before anything goes public.
A blog post is a letter that has been redacted for strangers. A book is a year of letters that learned to talk to each other.
Why the letters compound
How it works / one habit, three beats
At the start of a session, the newest letter is read automatically — work begins with full context. During the day it does nothing visible. At the end, one command drafts the five sections; the author reads and signs off before closing the tab.
Not a journaling app.
No mood fields, no streaks, no weekly review. The letter is a handoff — it exists so the next session does not start from zero.
Not a magic memory.
No hidden database, no training on your work, no cross-project recall — a folder of readable notes the next session opens first.
Your notes are yours.
Written to your own systems, under your own version control. Nothing is uploaded. Delete the folder and it is gone — that is the design.
