Coffee · by Tola Ibrahim · 2026-09-02
A surprisingly useful lesson from a coworking table from my Monday morning notes
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 6 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where cafes stopped feeling new.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 10 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
