The small school habit that changed my winter after a tiny failure

The detail that surprised me was how much a family dinner changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

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

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 5 months. I would write it down before changing anything else.
