Surprised more people aren't choosing I need more context. It seems like the practical answer. The 3-minute rule is underrated.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? I would love to see a follow-up after 10 weeks.

Maybe later got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. I noticed the same thing in Cairo.
