Notes from a very normal busy month with Funny that actually stuck

The detail that surprised me was how much the kitchen changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Funny feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

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

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 7 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

Can you share what you tried before this? It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the corner shop.

There is probably a middle ground here. The a family dinner detail changes the whole answer.

Glad you shared it; small wins count. That is the kind of detail beginners miss.

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option. My only addition is to make the first step visible. I needed this reminder today.

Useful intention, poor execution. I would write it down before changing anything else.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Lagos? The a coworking table detail changes the whole answer.

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

Anecdotally, this tracks with what I have seen. This pairs weirdly well with arepas.
