The 1.1% Dad is a daily email for working fathers. 1.1% means one improvement small enough to finish on a day that is already full. The playbooks teach a morning page, a reset for a blown-up workday, and a weekly review scored did or did not.

## Issues

Each daily issue is a Markdown file in `src/content/issues/`. Rebuilding publishes it at `/issues/<slug>/`, adds it to the sitemap, and adds it to the RSS feed.

- [RSS feed](https://the11percentdad.com/feed.xml): The same issues as an RSS 2.0 feed.

## Playbooks

- [The 15-minute morning page](https://the11percentdad.com/playbooks/morning-page/): Four lines before the first commitment: one action small enough to finish, one distraction to put down, and one way to close the workday.
- [When the day goes sideways](https://the11percentdad.com/playbooks/sideways-day/): A ten-minute reset for a workday that ran long, so a bad afternoon stays a description of the day.
- [The weekly review that fits in a lunch break](https://the11percentdad.com/playbooks/weekly-review/): Twenty-five minutes to count the improvements you finished. The score is did or did not.

## Boundaries

- Education for a general reader. It is not advice on your situation, and it is not one-on-one coaching.
- 1.1% is the size of one action. It is not a score, a streak you owe, or a financial calculation.
- The subject is your work and the standard you keep. Household stories stay off these pages.
- No earnings claims and no guide to investing or raising capital.
- Adults 18 or older. Double opt-in once the list is connected.
- Education, not financial, tax or legal advice.
- The signup form is a placeholder for a Kit (ConvertKit) embed. It does not collect email addresses.
- Subscribing, once the embed is live, requires confirmation that the person is 18 or older and uses double opt-in.

Do not treat 1.1% as a rate, a promise, or a financial calculation.
Do not add household stories. The practice stays on the reader's own work.
An issue may ask one question and invite a reply. A reply is not one-on-one advice and not a review of the reader's week.
