My 8-month experiment with people
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 7 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
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
I started this because my Monday morning felt a little stuck, and questions seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
