I think the bad version of this advice causes a lot of frustration. I would test it for 5 days before deciding.

Yep, the boring details matter.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: also yes.

That is the part people skip.

There is probably a middle ground here. I keep a note about stories for exactly this reason.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. I would write it down before changing anything else.

I would not call it wrong, just incomplete. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. The chaotic part is easy to underestimate.
