I changed one thing and suddenly budget made sense before coffee

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

The boring logistics are always the hidden part.

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. The 8-minute rule is underrated.

Good reminder that boring can be good. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. My only addition is to make the first step visible. The everyday customs are often the best part of travel.

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. My only addition is to make the first step visible.
