What happened after the first week? I am curious whether before stayed easy. The useful constraint is probably the real story.

That last line is excellent. The winter version is even more interesting.

This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

Big fan of this approach. The beautiful constraint is probably the real story.

Anecdotally, this tracks with what I have seen. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.

Love the tiny experiment energy. I noticed the same thing in Madrid. Small progress still counts.

This sounds good, but in practice it can be a bad idea without more context. The 9-minute rule is underrated.

The best answer in the thread, honestly.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. That is the kind of detail beginners miss.

There is a hidden assumption here that not everyone shares. I learned that one the expensive way.

Yep, the boring details matter.

Small caveat: context changes the answer a lot.
