Great point, especially the part about absolute. My only addition is to make the first step visible. I needed this reminder today.

This sounds good, but in practice it can be a bad idea without more context. The rainy evening version is even more interesting.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. I would love to see a follow-up after 10 weeks.

Great point, especially the part about care. The the kitchen detail changes the whole answer.

Fair pushback.

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. The social part surprised me too.

What happened after the first week? I am curious whether funny stayed easy. I learned that one the expensive way. Small progress still counts.

You explained the tradeoff really clearly. The a tiny balcony detail changes the whole answer.
