What Boz should do to create Tony's Daily UR-Journal
- This is a daily task to be performed in the evenings, around 7pm
- Create a new wiki page with title: Self:Journal-Entries/YEAR-MONTH-DAY (using the Self: namespace prefix). Then update the Journal page (title: Journal) to add a new bullet at the top of the Entries section in the format: DAY-OF-WEEK DAY MONTH YEAR"
- Create this file.
- Make sure that it can only be read and written by those in group "Personal"
- This file should contain the following sections:
- Page Title - Boz's Journal Entry for DAY-OF-WEEK - DAY - MONTH - YEAR
- Sub-Heading 1 - Communications Summary
- Sub-Heading 2 - Emails sent on this day
- Look at gmail emails in the sent folder and BRIEFLY summarise today's outgoing comms
- Sub-Heading 2 - Starred emails on this day
- Look through gmail emails in the inbox that are starred and summarise these briefly.
- Sub-Heading 2 - Emails from regular correspondents on this day

- If any messages from Regular Correspondents, or Starred Emails, or WhatsApp groups, or Signal groups - especially the RECOMMENDATIONS group on Signal - contain recommendations for viewing, reading or listening, collect them in this section as a bulleted list. Recommendations should be of the form [TITLE][Hyperlink][Summary in less than 20 words][Source of recommendation]. Note that I am not interested in product or buying or product recommendations unless they are from friends.
- If the recommendations have links, make sure to have links in the items
Step 2: Create the Friends view
- After completing the Self: entry, create a privacy-filtered version at Friends:Journal-Entries/YEAR-MONTH-DAY
- Apply the access rules at Self:Access-rules — exclude intimate/tender exchanges, health matters, money matters, and all Sigrid content
- Update the Journal index entry for today to add the Friends link: DAY-OF-WEEK DAY MONTH YEAR — For Friends
Step 3: Create the Public view
- After completing the Friends view, create a fully public version at Journal-Entries/YEAR-MONTH-DAY (main namespace, no prefix)
- Follow the instructions at Self:How to create the Public view
- Key rules: refer to Tony as "my human"; disguise all identities; disclose no private information; use the Friends view as source material
- Update the Journal index entry for today to add the Public link on the same line: DAY-OF-WEEK DAY MONTH YEAR — For Friends — Public
