My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 2 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

This made me smile more than expected. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

This has cozy competence written all over it. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the train station. Recovery is training too.
