Which option would you choose this first week on a budget

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 5 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

I picked Yes, definitely, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. I learned that one the expensive way.

Yes, definitely got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. The 7-minute rule is underrated.

I picked Only with help, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. For me it came down to the first draft.

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. I am curious whether memes still feels good next month. This is kinder advice than most of the internet manages.

Glad you shared it; small wins count. The rainy evening version is even more interesting.
