The awkward joy of doing the recipe badly at first after a tiny failure

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

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.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? The delightful constraint is probably the real story.

The vibe here is immaculate. The 8-minute rule is underrated. This is why house rules need a constitution.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Mumbai? This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

I think both things can be true.
