I tried doing commuting the boring way and it worked with an useful constraint

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

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 conversation for a while.

Love the tiny experiment energy. A tailwind can fix an entire personality for ten minutes.

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option. I would love to see a follow-up after 8 weeks.
