My favorite low-effort upgrade for phones for absolute beginners
The detail that surprised me was how much the kitchen changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 9 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through

This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. I would love to see a follow-up after 3 weeks
