> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where saving stopped feeling new.
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.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 3 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
I started this because my busy month felt a little stuck, and debt seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
