My favorite low-effort upgrade for strategy before coffee

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 3 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

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

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

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where cards stopped feeling new.

The framing feels off to me. Not terrible, just not convincing. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.
