The small school habit that changed my rainy evening without making it complicated

I started this because my winter felt a little stuck, and school 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.

I am skeptical. The idea sounds good, but the maintenance cost is real. For me it came down to the first draft.

This made me smile more than expected. My friend tried it in Mexico City and had the opposite result.
