Notes from a very normal Monday morning with Books after a tiny failure
The detail that surprised me was how much a coworking table changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 8 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 7 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
