BeingKind

Something specific you can do today.

Not a vague wish to be kinder. One act, with the reason it lands. If the hard week belongs to someone you know, send them the page instead.

One thing, today

Send the thing that reminded you of them

A link with 'this is so you' is proof you thought about someone when they were not there. That is the whole message.

If this one is not yours

The next act in a situation, the question that has waited longest, or a task somebody has already named.

Right about now

When it turns cold

The first proper cold week is when a set of small, ordinary jobs stop being ordinary for the people on your street who are least able to do them.

The one that matters most and is hardest to ask about. People ration heat in silence and will tell you it is fine.

Check whether the heating is actually on

Many older people ration heating in silence. Cold homes cause a large, measurable share of winter deaths.

If today is the wrong day

This is not a habit to keep up. Most of what is here is for a particular week in somebody’s life.

November · The ones nobody asks about

Day 1: Ask the carer before you ask about the patient

Every single conversation starts with how the ill person is doing. The carer is asked second, or not at all.

The whole month, printable →

The same page next year. Nothing on it resets.

A date you already know

Keep it, and the right acts show up

A death, a new job, the weeks after an operation. The name stays on this device. A signed-in account can keep the date.

Hand it to the person who needs it

Two ways, and they ask different things of the person who receives them.

Send the situation

Open the page for what they are going through and send it. No account. This site never learns who received it.

Pass on what you did

After you have done something, you can give it a name and hand the name on. Mark today’s act, and that name is on the card. Whoever does the same thing adds themselves. Nothing follows them if they do not.

There is a great deal more

There is one email a month — a themed month, a few things for the situations you care about, and one sentence somebody wrote. No images, no tracking, and a link in every edition that erases your address completely.
