> Tiny progress is still progress.

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

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 3 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

Maybe, but the tradeoff seems bigger than the post suggests. A little friction removed goes a long way

The memes angle is what sold me. The useful constraint is probably the real story

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. This pairs weirdly well with banana bread
