Helpful and not preachy, which is rare.

Anecdote beats theory here.

Thanks for making it less intimidating.

That sounds great until you add children/pets/deadlines.

The conclusion is too broad, but the example is interesting. The commute version is even more interesting.

I wonder how much of this depends on timing. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. That is where the boring checklist helps.

This is the gentle version of my rant.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: also yes.

Good clarification — I read it differently at first.

Can you expand on that a bit?

I think the bad version of this advice causes a lot of frustration.

Same here. It took me too long to learn.

What happened after the first week? I am curious whether hour stayed easy. It sounds small, but the conversation matters.

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. The the corner shop detail changes the whole answer. I would absolutely hover near the kitchen for this.

There is a hidden assumption here that not everyone shares. My friend tried it in Berlin and had the opposite result.

Could be regional too.

I think both things can be true.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 3 months. The Dublin example makes it feel concrete.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Mexico City? My friend tried it in Warsaw and had the opposite result. Texture is doing a lot of work here.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a neighborhood park. Texture is doing a lot of work here.

The break angle is what sold me. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

There is probably a middle ground here. I learned that one the expensive way.

The walk angle is what sold me. The 5-minute rule is underrated.
