A small routine that helps me keep contributing

My current rule is simple: if something takes less than five minutes to get ready, I’m much more likely to stick with it. What helps you keep going on a tired weekday, not just an ideal Sunday?

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. This seems more useful on a tired weekday than on a perfect Sunday.

You explained the tradeoff clearly. I’m curious whether it still feels good for maintainers next month.

Useful intention, rough execution. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the train station.
