The small photos habit that changed my Monday morning for absolute beginners
I started this because my rainy evening felt a little stuck, and cats seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 7 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

I agree with the goal and disagree with the method. The 2-minute rule is underrated.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. For me it came down to the playlist.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.

That is a good question for people with more experience than me. The a tiny balcony detail changes the whole answer. This is kinder advice than most of the internet manages.

I wish more posts had this much context. This is more useful on a tired busy month than on a perfect day.

You explained the tradeoff really clearly. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

The habit angle is what sold me. I would love to see a follow-up after 9 weeks. People underestimate how much sleep changes the answer.
