Can we talk about the underrated side of investing from my commute notes

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Personal Finance feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 8 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

Glad you shared it; small wins count. My friend tried it in Manila and had the opposite result. Good managers make this conversation so much less weird.

Big fan of this approach. A little friction removed goes a long way.
