Notes from a very normal lunch break with Today I Learned after a tiny failure
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 9 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 2 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
I started this because my Monday morning felt a little stuck, and science seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.
