The most cozy part of learning plantbased from my Monday morning notes

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

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 6 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 6 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 9 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

Can you share what you tried before this? The late summer version is even more interesting. I would absolutely hover near the kitchen for this.

Exactly; the hidden cost is energy.

This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.
