The small playlists habit that changed my commute from my winter notes

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

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

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.

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. For me it came down to the setup.

Good clarification — I read it differently at first.

I was going to disagree, but your second sentence got me.

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. The messy constraint is probably the real story.
