Beautifully put. I needed that reminder today. I noticed the same thing in Buenos Aires. This is kinder advice than most of the internet manages.

This feels like advice from a patient friend. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability. Small progress still counts.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. I would test it for 5 days before deciding.

I disagree a bit. lesson matters, but the bigger issue is usually expectations. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.
