A beginner mistake I am weirdly glad I made after 38 tries

The detail that surprised me was how much a neighborhood park changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 4 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

This made me smile more than expected. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing. That route sounds like type-two fun.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: also yes.

Love the tiny experiment energy. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

Love the tiny experiment energy. The weekend version is even more interesting.

I laughed, but you are not wrong.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? This pairs weirdly well with pierogi.
