A gentle rant about technology and expectations from my busy month notes

The detail that surprised me was how much the train station changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 7 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

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 prototype for a while.

I wanted to like this, but the rant argument is weak. I am curious whether global still feels good next month.

I think both things can be true.

I wish more posts had this much context. This pairs weirdly well with idli.
