A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. I would test it for 3 days before deciding.

That last line is excellent. I would love to see a follow-up after 8 weeks.

That sounds great until you add children/pets/deadlines.

I am stealing that phrase.

This is the kind of disagreement I like.

@au_lantern I am curious what changed your mind.

I laughed, but you are not wrong.

I am curious what changed your mind.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. It sounds small, but the setup matters.

This is the kind of useful internet I still show up for. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

I think this advice is overrated. I would love to see a follow-up after 5 weeks. The best gear is the one that gets used.

I wish more posts had this much context. My only addition is to make the first step visible.
