Back when I thought any grinder would do for espresso

Honestly, thinking back to when I first got into coffee, I made some big mistakes. Tbh, my worst was trying to grind beans for espresso with a cheap blade grinder. I didn't know about grind size and just let it run until it sounded wrong. Ngl, the motor stopped after a few goes, and I was left with chunky grounds. It taught me to respect the tools and learn first. Now, I see how coffee fans have changed, with more talk about right gear. But that early fail still makes me cringe when I hear a grinder strain.

A tiny gap in the coop wire cost me two hens

I always watched for large openings, but a small tear near the ground did it. A predator got in last night. Seal up any weak spots you find.

Time after time, my family picks boring shows for our binge nights.

Update: My bujo sleep log showed me the cause of my constant tiredness

I was feeling groggy every morning, so I started logging my sleep in my bujo. I set up a basic page with columns for when I went to bed, when I woke up, and how rested I felt. After a month, I noticed that on days I spent too much time on my laptop at night, my sleep quality dropped. I never made that connection before seeing it written down. Now I shut off screens an hour before bed, and I wake up feeling way better. It's amazing how a simple tracker can point out bad habits you miss. Has anyone else found a similar eye-opener with their bujo? What do you include in your sleep spreads?
