I used to think rush hour was just bad luck until I noticed the pattern
For two years I complained about hitting every red light on my 6-mile drive to work. Then last Tuesday in Austin, I timed myself leaving 10 minutes earlier and rolled through six green lights in a row. Has anyone else found a secret pocket of time where traffic just flows better?

Used to roll my eyes at people who swore by leaving at certain times, thought it was all confirmation bias. Then I started tracking it in a little notebook and sure enough, that 7:15 window is like a magic trick. Now I set my alarm 10 minutes earlier and never look back.

That notebook trick actually saved me from a speeding ticket once.

How many days did you track before you saw that 7:15 pattern?
