My favorite low-effort upgrade for street in Lagos
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 recipe for a while.
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where street stopped feeling new.
This is probly obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. street got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
