My 5-month experiment with funding

The detail that surprised me was how much a family dinner changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 4 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

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 route for a while.

This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. The 2-minute rule is underrated.

Honestly, this is a little too vague to be useful. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.
