Don't get too far ahead of yourself. You got 5 steps outside your flat today. Celebrate that.

It makes me think of how we're supposed to eat at least 5 fruits and vegetables a day ("freggies"). I think I would come up with various numbers or groups, "4 and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie"? and then "do" them? Instead of worrying about being outside your flat, go outside and count 24 birds? You did 5 steps today, even make up your own list like: Six Things I Learned While Traveling The United Kingdom In An Airstream Trailer | FiveThirtyEight only make it smaller, "Six things I learned about my blocks hall" :-) Maybe you really don't like the carpeting or, when you count your steps, find it is 78 steps long. If you know your stride length (pedometers ask for that) you can compute the distance; I think I remember mine is like 21-22 inches? Get your head interested in or curious about something else besides that you're going outside.
