My 4-month experiment with stories before coffee
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.
I started this because my busy month felt a little stuck, and silly 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.
The detail that surprised me was how much a coworking table changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy
