Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. Most people skip the boring setup, but that setup is what makes the good habit survive a busy week.
- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.
Source: mostly hard-won experience and comparing notes with people who stuck with it.

Small caveat: context changes the answer a lot.

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. I would write it down before changing anything else.

My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. My friend tried it in Kuala Lumpur and had the opposite result.

This feels like advice from a patient friend. That is where the boring checklist helps. This is kinder advice than most of the internet manages.

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

I am cheering for this update. I would test it for 8 days before deciding.

Great point, especially the part about taught. That is where the boring checklist helps. People underestimate how much sleep changes the answer.

I do not have a strong take, but the questions detail is useful. The gentle constraint is probably the real story.
