Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. The low-effort version is probably the keeper. This belongs on a rainy evening list.

I am saving this for the next time I overthink notes. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a tiny balcony.

Good reminder that boring can be good. The ambitious part is easy to underestimate.

I disagree a bit. timing matters, but the bigger issue is usually expectations. My only addition is to make the first step visible.
