I did not expect Laptop to connect to phones after a tiny failure
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 3 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
I tried this in Nairobi with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where phones stopped feeling new.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
