A beginner mistake I am weirdly glad I made from my rainy evening notes
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
The detail that surprised me was how much a family dinner changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.
I started this because my commute felt a little stuck, and commuting seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where commuting stopped feeling new.
