Nothing here gets scored. Every answer is a promise to yourself about how this will really run, so answer for your ordinary week.
Decision 1

How often will your email go out?

Pick what you can keep up in an ordinary week.

Decision 2

What day and time will it go out?

Thursday mornings and Friday afternoons work well for lots of churches.

Close enough is fine.
Decision 3

What goes in every email?

The same five parts every week. Only the details change.

These are the five parts from the framework card, the PDF attached to Rooted › Connect › Building Your Email Rhythm. They're right here too, so you can work straight from this page.
Decision 4

When will you write it?

Block thirty minutes, the same time each week. It's what makes the plan real!

Decision 5

What goes out on a hard week?

A funeral, a sick kid, a week that got away. Decide now, while things are calm.

Short is fine. Something warm and honest is plenty.
