The small budget habit that changed my commute without making it complicated
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 8 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where culture stopped feeling new.
I tried this in Dublin with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
