Yes, this is a weekly habit that I try to follow. Others are welcome to join me when it suits them. Its about the practice of making your thinking visible.  Two things I would like to emphasise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Folio Friday is a small community of practices (COP) that uses the Pomodoro approach to guide our writing. Pomodoro is a simple way to keep your mind fresh. Every Friday, we meet on Zoom and write for 25 minutes, take a break and write for another 25. Focussed work is good. Doing focussed work with someone else is even better.
