Build a Gratitude Practice That Lasts More Than a Week

You bought the journal. You lasted four days. The practice this builds fits your real schedule, accounts for the specific reason the last one failed, and has a minimum version for mornings when getting it done at all is enough.

<task>
**Design** a personalised gratitude practice based on these inputs:
- Daily routine overview: [brief description of how your day is structured]
- Available time: [5 to 15] minutes at [time of day]
- Previous attempt: [what you tried] failed because [specific reason]

The practice must:
1. Fit the available time and routine described
2. Avoid the specific reason the previous attempt failed
3. Include a minimum viable version for low-energy days
4. Include one simple variation to keep it interesting after the first two weeks
5. Explain what the evidence says about why gratitude practices work, in plain English

- The practice: named, with daily steps written as clear instructions
- Minimum viable version: one sentence, the floor for a bad day
- Week 3 variation: one idea only
- Evidence note: two to three sentences, no jargon
- Tone: direct and practical; no wellness-speak
