My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 3 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. gear got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 7 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

I picked Only with help, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. The social part surprised me too.

Surprised more people aren't choosing Maybe later. It seems like the practical answer. The Kuala Lumpur example makes it feel concrete.

I am cheering for this update. The Istanbul example makes it feel concrete. The boring solution is probably the reliable one here.
