A tiny win from Seoul that made my week after 26 tries
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where debugging stopped feeling new.
The detail that surprised me was how much the kitchen 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.
