Can we talk about the underrated side of jobs after 5 tries

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

I started this because my commute felt a little stuck, and workplace seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Careers feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. The Buenos Aires example makes it feel concrete. I would document the agreement in writing.

This made me smile more than expected. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.
