Tea Eggs and Convenience-Store Truths

Convenience stores are emergency nutrition, not a personality. Use them with eyes open.

Know which 24h store near you has decent protein and which only sells sugar in different fonts.

Default near home. Accept good enough. Leave room for overtime and weather.

How to switch

1. Admit what you optimized for (status vs sleep).
2. Choose one default for thirty days.
3. Tell one person so you stop renegotiating alone.

Pick the second unless you have a real reason not to.

Do one concrete step this week. Consistency beats intensity here.
