A tiny story about tacos, Buenos Aires and timing before coffee
I started this because my commute felt a little stuck, and jokes seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. This is more useful on a tired rainy evening than on a perfect day.

I think the bad version of this advice causes a lot of frustration. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

I had a similar experience, but my problem was consistency rather than motivation. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.
