I wish more posts had this much context. A little friction removed goes a long way.

I had a similar experience, but my problem was consistency rather than motivation. I noticed the same thing in Kuala Lumpur.

Fair pushback.

Good clarification — I read it differently at first.

I am stealing that phrase.

This comment has main-character footnote energy.

Could be regional too.

@us_mango58 I had the same reaction to stealing.

This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself.

I would push back gently on the life part. I keep a note about photos for exactly this reason.

Beautifully concise.

Totally agree, especially for beginners.

Exactly; the hidden cost is energy.

@tr_marauder Small caveat: context changes the answer a lot.

This is the gentle version of my rant.

That sounds great until you add children/pets/deadlines.

Good reminder that boring can be good. The a tiny balcony detail changes the whole answer.
