Which option would you choose this rainy evening from my commute notes
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 2 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 6 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. libraries got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
I tried this in Mexico City with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
