A tiny story about mango sticky rice, Jakarta and timing after 27 tries

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

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

> Tiny progress is still progress.

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

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

The kindness in this post is lovely. I can already hear the menu music.

I agree with the goal and disagree with the method. The my desk detail changes the whole answer.
