This Week

Mon Sep 7 to Sun Sep 13, 2026 · Week 2 of September · 5 weeks to on-sale (Oct 15)

The rhythm: Sunday morning = plan together (verdicts, week check, caption interview) · Monday = desk session (schedule the week, build assets) · Friday = capture. LinkedIn is paused until Matthew decides the opening story (fast follow, this week). Scout verdicts are in (Sep 7): six Yes, two of them land this week and are marked below. Checkboxes are shared: a tick on one phone shows on the other.

  • Place, day, time, who. Nothing about the art; section 7 language stays exactly as it is.
  • Edit the scheduled post in Meta Business Suite; the caption below already ends with the line once Matty answers.

Matthew
Details
  • The offer: they post the cover exclusively Wed Sep 23; we post everywhere Thu Sep 24 and credit them. Tie it to Modernism Week opening on our on-sale day, Oct 15.
  • Ask Claude for a draft DM or email if you want one; it reads the accounts file and the idea bank card first.
Decide the LinkedIn opening story (fast follow)By Wed Sep 9 · reread the original thread · Sep 8 and Sep 10 LinkedIn slots are paused until this lands
Matthew
Details
  • The career-pivot framing did not sit right. Decide how the story opens, then Claude lines up this week's LinkedIn activities and writes the decision into the content bible.

This page is regenerated by Claude when the plan or posts change. Ticks are shared between the two of you through the portal database and survive regeneration; an item marked "not synced" has no database row yet and remembers its tick in this browser only. Interview answers go to the shared questions list, which the post-pack skill reads. Source files for skills: social/months/2026-09-plan.md and 2026-09-posts.md.
