My favorite low-effort upgrade for cafes after a tiny failure

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

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the first draft for a while.

Maybe, but the tradeoff seems bigger than the post suggests. My friend tried it in Cape Town and had the opposite result. This is the kind of thing that tastes better the next day.

I had the same reaction to tradeoff.

Same here. It took me too long to learn.
