What is your default move when science gets messy

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

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 7 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where culture stopped feeling new.

I started this because my commute felt a little stuck, and culture seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
