What console looks like when you stop optimizing everything that actually stuck

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

I tried this in Madrid with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

I wanted to like this, but the like argument is weak. The social part surprised me too.

Good reminder that boring can be good. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability. This is why house rules need a constitution.

Totally agree, especially for beginners.
