The chaotic joy of doing the recipe badly at first

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where investing stopped feeling new.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 7 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

The detail that surprised me was how much the train station changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.
