I would push back gently on the during part. My only addition is to make the first step visible

I think this advice is overrated. I would test it for 7 days before deciding

This reminds me of something a friend in Toronto mentioned. That is where the boring checklist helps

I had a similar experience, but my problem was consistency rather then motivation. I am curious whether technique still feels good next month

I wish more posts had this much context. The weekend version is even more interesting. This is the kind of thing that tastes better the next day

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability. Now I'm hungry, wich feels unfair

This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. The Mumbai example makes it feel concrete. The simple version is usually teh one people actually repeat

maybe, but the tradeoff seems bigger than the post suggests. I would test it for 6 days before deciding. The simple version is usually the one people actually repeat
