Heard someone say buckets make better hampers and honestly they're not wrong.

Gotta push back a little on that one, @the_kim. Low fluid level IS a technical problem, just a simple one. Our brains don't jump to the complicated thing first, they jump to the thing we've been conditioned to fear most. Transmission trouble sounds scary and expensive, so your brain latches onto that worst case scenario because it's trying to protect you from getting stranded. It's actually a survival instinct thing. The real trick is learning to pause and check the simple stuff before panicking. Have you found any good mental tricks for forcing yourself to look at the cheap fixes first?

Man, that's the exact same story as me. I think a lot of people who get into it see all those pretty spreads on Instagram and think that's how you're supposed to do it. But the real trick is figuring out what actually makes you open the book every day. @lilymurphy, did you ever try to go back to the artsy stuff once you built the habit with a simple setup, or was it just a total no-go for you after that first burnout? I tried adding a single sticker to my weekly once and felt like I was betraying the whole system, ha.
