A beginner mistake I am weirdly glad I made without making it complicated

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

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 2 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where tools stopped feeling new.

The kindness in this post is lovely. The 9-minute rule is underrated.
