I tried doing product the boring way and it worked for absolute beginners

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 6 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

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

This is adorable and oddly motivating. The gentle constraint is probably the real story.
