Episode notes
Daily Posting Rule
- Post one article per day with at least 500 words to stay in Halfhaven's rhythm.
- Share the link the same day you publish to keep your participation visible and consistent.
Treat 30 Posts As A Soft Goal
- Aim for 30 posts by the end of November but treat it as a soft target rather than a strict rule.
- Join late anyway: a few posts can still provide the motivational nudge even if you miss 30.
Vacation Caused Invite Delay
- Viliam missed sharing the invite earlier because he was on vacation without internet.
- He apologizes and invites retroactive additions for posts published elsewhere during November.
