What watering looks like when you stop optimizing everything from my busy month notes

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Houseplants feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. houseplants got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
