One match

One match is a discipline, not a brag. You prepare everything first, then you light it once, on purpose.

The ritual

gather      tinder, kindling, fuel — all of it, before the match
arrange      build the fire in your hand, then strike
strike      one match, one motion, into the tinder
feed        smallest first, never rush

Why it works

The moment you strike, you stop gathering. Everything you forgot becomes everything you don't have. One match teaches you to remember.
