The small gear habit that changed my busy month after a tiny failure

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

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