The most awkward part of learning habits on a budget

> Tiny progress is still progress.

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

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 practice run for a while.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about learning. I would love to see a follow-up after 4 weeks.

Fair point, but I had the opposite experience. The low-effort version is probably the keeper. People underestimate how much sleep changes the answer.

That is a good question for people with more experience than me. I would write it down before changing anything else.
