Today I Learned · by Ren Suzuki · 2026-10-09

My favorite low-effort upgrade for science

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

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

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. It sounds small, but the prototype matters.
