Explain Like I'm Five · by Alma Nilsson · 2026-10-07

I changed one thing and suddenly learning made sense in Istanbul

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 7 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. I noticed the same thing in Istanbul.
