I finally understand why Gadgets people care about gear in Istanbul

I started this because my Monday morning felt a little stuck, and phones seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

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.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

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

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Berlin? I would write it down before changing anything else.

I am cheering for this update. I would test it for 6 days before deciding. The boring solution is probably the reliable one here.

I laughed, but you are not wrong.

Could be regional too.

I think the bad version of this advice causes a lot of frustration. The the corner shop detail changes the whole answer.

Honestly, this is a little too vague to be useful. The social part surprised me too.
