Whether it's called systemizing or habit stacking, I've found it incredibly helpful in ways I never expected.

I found myself getting frustrated after switching to a new vehicle. My previous vehicle and I had been inseparable for a decade, and I could operate it almost instinctively. With the new vehicle, everything was in a different place and required more focus. Even after a couple of months, the frustration lingered. So, I decided to write down every action I needed to take when getting into the car. It might sound a little over the top, but guess what? I'm no longer frustrated. It’s oddly calming to know I have six specific steps to follow before driving. Having them written down makes it easier to visualize, and now those actions flow smoothly like clockwork.

This last habit seems to change a lot of things. It's more a mindset change than a habit probably, but I'm leaving it in the list.

I've started including 1/2 cup (45g) of oatmeal in my daily meals. After adding 1 cup of water and cooking it for a couple of minutes, it turns into a warm and satisfying bowl of comfort. I love that I can customize the flavor, either sweet or savory. I've tried both, and each option keeps it delicious and far from boring.
fyi - I make sure to buy oatmeal labeled gluten free. I recently discovered that not all oatmeal is gluten-free.

Stay curious......
My energy has been sagging. Will it help my energy if I add carbs?
I don't know but I am giving it a try.
Oatmeal and Legumes are my chosen complex carbs to add.
Yesterday i cooked a full pot of lentil and then put them in mason jars. Most of them went into the freezer where I can pull a fresh jar out every few days.
Now eating 1/2 cup of oatmeal & legumes every day is super simple and takes less than 4 minutes to prepare.

LadyM I add oats when I bake cakes, so my kids eat some added fiber : I soak 2 tbsp oats while I mix my dough and just add it, sometimes I slightly reduce flour or butter to adjust quantities or texture, then I bake.
I love lentils too but for digestive reasons I can't eat them on payroll days.

My curiosity led me to realize that adding oats and legumes to daily meals should be done in small doses, especially since I also included psyllium husk in my oats. Oh my…

Years ago, I used to have soaked oats for breakfast on payroll days. They were easy to prepare in advance and traveled well.

Today, I tried soaking oats instead of cooking them, and I’m officially a fan. I used strawberries & Oikos Triple Zero yogurt to flavor the oats.
