My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 6 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 4 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. I am curious whether prompts still feels good next month.
