Pick one for the rest of the month

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 prototype for a while.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 3 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
