The Sunday System

Today

decided on Sunday
Anything at all, the second it occurs to you. It waits here until you do your week, and that is where it gets placed.

Somebody

Most handovers do not need the house rules. The sitter does; the person who lives here does not.

The system

Open it

What came home

Paste the letter or the email here. If it came on paper, your phone can copy the words straight out of a photograph, and that reads better than anything this page can do.

It came home on paper

Photograph it, then let your phone copy the words out of the picture. It reads a creased letter far better than anything this page could do, and nothing leaves your phone either way.

iPhone. Open the photo, press and hold on the words, drag to select it all, tap Copy. Then paste it above.

Android. Open the photo in Google Photos, tap Lens, tap the text, Select all, Copy. Then paste it above.

This one

The handover

Tick what they need. Everything else stays yours.

Somebody you hand things to

A number or an address means a message goes out in one tap instead of being copied and pasted. Both stay on this phone - they are never sent anywhere, not even to us.

Make it one the systems obey

A system can only obey a rule about something it already knows. Pick the thing and when, and the sentence writes itself.

A reply

Fill the gaps. It remembers what you put in them, so the next one is quicker.

Change the wording

Anything in {curly brackets} becomes a gap to fill.
