Notes from a very normal weekend with Football

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 3 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

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 practice run for a while.

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.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.

Can you share what you tried before this? The practical part is easy to underestimate.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. The practical constraint is probably the real story. That route sounds like type-two fun.
