The beautiful joy of doing the prototype badly at first in real life
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 first draft for a while.
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.
I started this because my weekend felt a little stuck, and pastry seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
