What I wish I knew before trying bread that actually stuck
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 tiny balcony changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.
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 first draft for a while.
