How we test the games we recommend
Our simple checklist: is it fun in five minutes, and still fun after an hour?
We tried a handful of approaches and kept only the ones that were genuinely easy to stick with.
When in doubt, do less but do it more consistently; steady beats intense almost every time.
There's no single right way to do it; the best method is the one you'll actually keep using.
Most of the benefit comes from getting the basics right and then simply repeating them.
If you take one thing from this piece, let it be that consistency quietly does most of the work.
The goal isn't perfection — it's something sensible you can keep doing on a normal, busy week.
Everything here is general information — use your own judgement and adapt it to your situation.
The short version is that small, steady choices tend to outlast big, dramatic ones over time.
Who we are
