The tyranny of "Daily": Why we’re dropping the millstone
Loading player...
What happens when a hobby starts to feel like a "social contract" you can’t keep? In this first episode of 2026, we’re looking at the power of names and the weight of expectations.
After 24 episodes, I sought out some expert "tough love" from Gavin Kennedy at Solid Gold Podcasts. The diagnosis? The word "Daily" had become a stressing millstone - a temporal trap that turns unbridled joy into a chore.
In this episode, we discuss:
The HSNE audit: Looking at the "Why" behind the project (Hobbyist, Skills, Networking, Enjoyment).
The social contract: How temporal titles create implied promises that life eventually breaks.
The pivot: Why we are officially rebranding to The Jabber.
Intentions vs wishes: Setting a roadmap for the new year that actually leads to the summit.
We’re clearing the path, losing the guilt, and keeping the substance. The voice is the same, but the sign on the door has changed.
Welcome to a new year of intentionality.
