A practice kept for its own sake rather than for its completion.
Soumm
4 September 2026
As Soumm uses the word: a small, repeatable practice valued for the attention it involves rather than the tasks it completes.
Distinguished from a routine, which is measured by whether the steps were done.
Practices that give something back are the ones people maintain over years.
