Your first LOOP

Use these four steps as you create your first Notation.

Your first LOOP

Walk through these four steps as you create your first Notation.

Choose one quotation. Stay with the words themselves first.

Now consider the people in your life. Who do these words bring to mind?

Write what you want to say. Use the prompt if it helps you get started.

Address it. Send it. Then make a brief record in POST.

Once your first Notation is on its way, take one more minute to make coming back easier.

You’ve begun.

Before you leave your LOOP space, make the next return easier.

Keep the pedestal where you can see it.

The Collection itself can become a quiet reminder to return.

Put the satchel in the top drawer.

Keep your envelopes and stamps there so they’re ready when you need them.

Keep your pen and POST close by.

The fewer things you have to gather, the easier it is to sit down and begin again.
