A gentle rant about silly and expectations from my weekend notes

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 setup for a while.

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. I keep a note about silly for exactly this reason.

Great point, especially the part about rant. The late summer version is even more interesting.

The kindness in this post is lovely. That is the kind of detail beginners miss. The follow-through matters more than the perfect plan.
