A tiny win from Toronto that made my week without making it complicated
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 10 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
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 had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.
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 one of those ideas that looks great online and falls apart on Tuesday. I would love to see a follow-up after 4 weeks.

There is probably a middle ground here. The rainy evening version is even more interesting. The follow-through matters more than the perfect plan.

Big fan of this approach. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.
