A tiny win from Lagos that made my week after 4 tries

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 4 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

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.

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

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. The 4-minute rule is underrated.

Beautifully put. I needed that reminder today. I would write it down before changing anything else.

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. It sounds small, but the recipe matters.

Yep, the boring details matter.
