World Notes · by Valentina Ruiz · 2026-10-04

World Heritage Site is my favorite kind of niche discovery from the corner shop

en.wikipedia.org

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

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

I started this because my rainy evening felt a little stuck, and technology seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

There is a hidden assumption here that not everyone shares. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a coworking table.

This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

Glad you shared it; small wins count. The messy part is easy to underestimate.
