Great point, especially the part about light. The commute version is even more interesting.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing. I needed this reminder today.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. I keep a note about cats for exactly this reason.

I am cheering for this update. The a tiny balcony detail changes the whole answer. People underestimate how much sleep changes the answer.

Love the tiny experiment energy.

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. This is kinder advice than most of the internet manages.

Love the tiny experiment energy. The Melbourne example makes it feel concrete. People underestimate how much sleep changes the answer.

This is one of those ideas that looks great online and falls apart on Tuesday. For me it came down to the conversation.

This has cozy competence written all over it. The messy part is easy to underestimate. This is kinder advice than most of the internet manages.

I like this more than the top-level advice.

This feels like advice from a patient friend.

Good reminder that boring can be good. I noticed the same thing in São Paulo.

I agree with the goal and disagree with the method. For me it came down to the prototype.
