Your cousin sounds like the kind of person who'd tell a kid their sandcastle needs better plumbing. The pretty spreads were fun, but if they ate up your whole Sunday, what's the point? I tried bullet journaling once and spent more time picking marker colors than actually doing the tasks I wrote down. Sometimes you need someone to point out you're polishing the anchor instead of sailing the boat. What's the most over-the-top planner habit you've had to quit?

Wow, that's a serious amount of time logged! Hitting a thousand hours is when the gear just becomes part of you, you stop thinking about the buttons and just do the work. I felt the same way after my first big milestone, everything from trim to deco just felt automatic. It's cool to look back and see how far you've come from being nervous about every little switch.

Ugh, that hidden fork is the worst. I always give the rope a good shake from the ground now before I commit.

Honestly that's so cool, but gotta say I think you're still looking at it wrong. That button is the important stuff, it's a direct link to a real person. Tbh the big foundation stones are just, well, stones. The small find tells the actual story.

Garlic powder seems to be the magic touch, just like @singh.jamie found. What kind of recipe calls for making them that often, Parker? Genuinely curious about the whole process now.
