Somewhere to put the wins, no audience
I started putting the wins on a random Twitter account.
Not my name.
Nobody really knew who I was.
I was not trying to build an audience. I was dealing with creditors, lawyers, liquidators and court appointments. Some days I was having panic attacks. Some nights I listened to gratitude recordings because I needed to interrupt what was happening in my head.
The Twitter account gave me somewhere to put one line.
Woke up.
Or:
Had time to eat lunch.
Or:
Played with my daughter.
The account was technically public, which gave me a little accountability. But there were no followers I cared about. I was not performing. I was not turning a terrible year into content.
I just did not want the worst parts of the day to erase everything else.
The creditors were still there.
The lawyers were still there.
Lunch still counted.
Later, when the shit year was over, I stopped writing the wins down.
Then I became productive again.
AI arrived and I started building things, testing ideas, burning through tokens and quotas. I could finish a ridiculous amount of work and still end the day thinking I had done nothing.
My head had already moved on to everything unfinished.
So I needed somewhere to put the wins again.
Now it is private.
There is no feed.
That matters to me.
I can write one win without making it a post. I can write ten without making it a thread. Nobody can like it, reply to it or decide whether having lunch was important enough.
Three is not a rule.
Some days there are more.
Some days there is one.
I can skip a day and nothing happens.
It is not a streak. It is not a performance. It is not another quota.
It is just a record.
The bad day happened.
The productive day happened.
This happened too.
