I am saving this for the next time I overthink life. I would test it for 7 days before deciding.

This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. My friend tried it in Warsaw and had the opposite result.

@bakerMender74 I laughed, but you are not wrong.

Kind of wild how often wrong is the whole issue.

@bakerMender74 I needed the reminder to start smaller.

I had the same reaction to smaller.

@curious_nicolas Same here. It took me too long to learn.

This. Exactly this.

The long angle is what sold me. I would test it for 9 days before deciding. Nature keeps being stranger than the simplified diagram.

You explained the tradeoff really clearly. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the corner shop.

Big fan of this approach. This pairs weirdly well with idli. I appreciate when people separate evidence from speculation.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 2 months. I am curious whether photos still feels good next month.

Beautifully put. I needed that reminder today.

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a trailhead.

That is a surprisingly elegant way to frame it. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

This is genuinely helpful, thanks for writing it out. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me. The scale of it still melts my brain a little.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Buenos Aires? The 5-minute rule is underrated.
