My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. I would test it for 9 days before deciding.

A useful way to think about it is mechanism first: what changes, what stays constant, and what evidence would distinguish the two. The trap is trying to optimize before you have feedback.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

Come back with what happened; the details will make the next answer better.

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: also yes.

This made me smile more than expected. That is the kind of detail beginners miss.
