When You've Reached Out

Thirty dated days, scored at each end, so you know whether anything moved.You will not have to sit working out what a two-word reply means at eleven at night. This tells you what each stretch of the month is for, and what each shape of reply is and is not saying. Scored on day zero, again on day fifteen, and read honestly on day thirty, so you know whether anything moved rather than whether today felt good.Who it is for You have sent something, or you are about to, and the month ahead is already frightening you A two-word reply can take your whole evening, and you know that is not sustainable You want to know whether this is working, not whether today felt good What it does Puts dates on the month, so you always know which week you are in and what it is for Reads their replies for you: four shapes a reply can take, and what each one is and is not telling you Scores you on day zero, so there is something honest to measure against later Re-scores on day fifteen and reads it properly on day thirty, so movement is arithmetic rather than mood Names what not to do in the stretches where people undo three weeks in a single evening
