When to use it

Reach for My wind-down hour when you want to start a conversation in the comments and make a post people save and come back to. Its structure is story: something that happened to you, and what it meant. Give Postora your topic and it keeps the shape, writing every slide about your subject in your voice.

What each slide does

1. 1Hook

   Opening: one word for the idea, and what the story is about.

   In the example

   Off.

   How one hour before bed changed my evenings.

2. 2Point

   How evenings used to go, honestly and in the first person.

   In the example

   How it used to go

   Laptop until eleven, then scrolling in bed until I couldn’t remember what I’d read. Every morning felt foggy.

3. 3Steps

   The new hour, by the clock.

   In the example

   The hour now

   • 21:30 Screens away — The phone charges in the hall.
   • 21:40 Ready for tomorrow — Bag packed, mug rinsed.
   • 21:50 Warm shower — Lights low afterwards.
   • 22:10 A paper book — Until my eyes give up.
   • 22:30 Lights out — Same time at weekends too.

4. 4Quote

   A short line that sums up the habit, over a calm photo.

   In the example

   Tomorrow starts the night before.

5. 5Comparison

   Weeknights before and after, in a sentence each.

   In the example

   Weeknights, two months apart

6. 6Recap

   The one change that made the difference.

   In the example

   The phone sleeps outside the bedroom

   What made the difference

   Everything else got easier once that one rule stuck.

7. 7Call to action

   Ask readers about their evenings.

   In the example

   What’s the last thing you do before bed?

   Your evenings

   Honest answers only.
