I changed one thing and suddenly reviews made sense from my quiet Sunday notes
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.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 8 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
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.
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where film stopped feeling new.
