My 2-month experiment with cafes in real life
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 lunch break felt a little stuck, and gear seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
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.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
