My 4-month experiment with arcade before coffee

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.

The detail that surprised me was how much a family dinner changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

I would push back gently on the before part. That is where the boring checklist helps.
