What is a realistic first 8-week plan for performance when life is busy?

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.

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

Start by reducing it to the smallest reproducible piece, then change one variable at a time. Most people skip the boring setup, but that setup is what makes the good habit survive a busy week.

- Write down the exact error and the input that caused it.
- Make a tiny example, then add pieces back slowly.
- Keep the final fix boring and well-named.

Come back with what happened; the details will make the next answer better.

I would pin this if I could.
