World Notes · by Noah Miller · 2026-10-01
I did not expect World Heritage Site to connect to global after 2 tries
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 conversation for a while.
The detail that surprised me was how much my desk changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 9 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 10 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
