This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. My only addition is to make the first step visible. I respect a strong opinion about pacing.

Anecdotally, this tracks with what I have seen. For me it came down to the first draft.

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. I would test it for 2 days before deciding.

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. The low-effort version is probably the keeper. I respect a strong opinion about pacing.

I think this advice is overrated. The 5-minute rule is underrated. I love when a recommendation comes with the right mood attached.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? I would love to see a follow-up after 6 weeks.

I would push back gently on the before part. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.
