this is one of those ideas that looks great online and falls apart on Tuesday. For me it came down to the setup

What happened after teh first week? I am curious whether boring stayed easy. I would love to see a follow-up after 9 weeks

That is a good boundary

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. I used to overcomplicate this constantly

My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. The low-effort version is probably the keeper

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability

This feels like advice from a patient friend. I would love to see a follow-up after 6 weeks

yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. Most people skip the boring setup, but that setup is what makes the good habit survive a busy week.

- 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.
