Hello!

Do less goals are trickier to manage than you might expect. A lot of folks have success by reframing the same goal in positive terms.

e.g. ‘drink less coffee’ might become ‘have more coffee-free days’, or ‘have more days on which I stay below my planned consumption threshold’ In @bee’s case it might have been ‘increase the percentage of decaf beans in the grinder mix’
