Count Required Stamps Before You Leave the Window

Almost-complete paperwork is still incomplete.

Checklist for Count Required Stamps Before You Leave the Window — after-work energy, thorough enough to use.

Do this in order

1. Write your constraint in one sentence.
2. Shortlist two options near real life.
3. Test one on a normal weekday.
4. Save names/pins/chats where half-asleep-you can find them.
5. Keep a backup that isn't wishful thinking.
6. Stop tinkering for thirty days.

The Chengdu-specific catch

Ask how many stamps and copies you need while you are still at the counter.

Watch for

Urgency theater, vague "no problem" promises, and advice that assumes unlimited energy.

Near + repeatable beats famous + exhausting.

Chengdu gets easier when routines stop feeling temporary.
