The small sourdough habit that changed my winter without making it complicated

I started this because my busy month felt a little stuck, and sourdough seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the routine for a while.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where bread stopped feeling new.

I am mostly here for the follow-up. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

Great point, especially the part about changed. I would write it down before changing anything else.
