Choose a purpose before writing a private note

Decide whether the note is for remembering, thinking, preparing a request or expressing something you do not intend to send.

Try this

  1. Write the purpose at the top in your own words. Keep a venting note separate from a message draft so their roles do not blur.
  2. Stop when the note has served that purpose; it does not need a polished conclusion.

A worked example

“This note is for understanding why I felt rushed. It is not a message to send tonight.”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Before sharing anything from the note, make a new decision about what belongs with a recipient. A private writing session is not implied permission to publish its contents.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
