Effort That Only Looks Like peppers in containers
Second trap: judging peppers in containers one day at a time. Missing a day is harmless; the story you attach to that day does the damage. Widen the review window to a week and emotion stops making the decision.
Third trap: gear first. Buying equipment, rebuilding the calendar, researching until midnight — with no plain repetition yet. a stack of plant labels helps at the margin and is optional at the start. Show up first, upgrade later.

| Best for | Trying it on busy weeks | Complete newcomers | People with some base |
