A surprisingly useful lesson from a coworking table on a budget
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where transit stopped feeling new.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 2 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 7 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. housing got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
