my practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing

The middle path is probly best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. The a tiny balcony detail changes the whole answer

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. I am curious whether people still feels good next month

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. That is where the boring checklist helps

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather then trying to solve everything at once. The trap is trying to optimize before you have feedback.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

That should give you a solid first pass

I think the bad version of this advice causes alot of frustration. My friend tried it in Mumbai and had the opposite result

I am skeptical. The idea sounds good, but the maintenance cost is real. The quiet Sunday version is even more interesting

That is a good question for people with more experience than me. The chaotic constraint is probably the real story

I would push back gently on the easy part. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a coworking table
