Making comfort less of a project
I'm no expert, but I've noticed I'm more likely to stick with something if it takes less than seven minutes to prepare.
I've been writing down what worked and what felt awkward. So far: keep the first step visible, remove one annoying decision, and give the boring repeat some credit.

I care less about a perfect answer and more about being able to repeat it.

I appreciate seeing the middle stage, not just a polished ending. Process photos would be fun to see.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability

I think expectations are the bigger issue. For me, it came down to the setup.

I'd like to see how this changes after five months. Process photos would be fun too.

the vibe here is immaculate. I used to overcomplicate this constantly
