The thing nobody told me about training 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 the library changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

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

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. I would test it for 7 days before deciding. I needed this reminder today.

Beautifully put. I needed that reminder today. The 6-minute rule is underrated.
