My favorite low-effort upgrade for habits from the corner shop

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the route for a while.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

I am saving this for the next time I overthink effort. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

The shop angle is what sold me. This is more useful on a tired rainy evening than on a perfect day.

I found this disappointing because it skips the hardest part. This pairs weirdly well with dumplings.
