Field Notes on the red bean and job's tears mistake

Honestly, the first week of the red bean and job's tears mistake was not impressive: clumsy, badly timed, one day skipped. What changed the direction was not a revelation but the tick boxes on Sunday. Evidence persuades a sceptical mind better than encouragement.

The hardest part was accepting days that produced only a little. Those small days kept the chain intact. Looking back, they were worth more than any single heroic session.

A five-day trip nearly ended it. Coming back, one mini session restored the feel. That changed my idea of continuity: not an unbroken line, but a line you can reconnect.
