Make room for a slower weekend

Plan a weekend with fewer moving parts and space between them.

Editorial focus

Leave space for changing weekend plans.

Begin with the context

Explain who this story is for and the question it answers. Include the details a new reader needs, and distinguish your own observations from material supplied by another source.

Keep it practical

A checklist to make your own

Write down the routine or plan in your own words.
Add the information another person would need.
Keep contact details and private records somewhere appropriate.
Review the list when circumstances change.

Make the useful part easy to find

The reference section below is deliberately structured for scanning, keyboard use and printing. Edit the labels and details to fit the real story rather than retaining irrelevant example fields.

Leave the reader with a next step

Link to a relevant topic, a dated source or a related story. Give collaborators proper credit and keep private or unverified information out of a public demonstration.

Weekend journal

Leave a little room for together.

Outdoor moments, everyday rituals and stories from family life.
