This made me smile more than expected. My friend tried it in Toronto and had the opposite result.

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

I do not have a strong take, but the evidence detail is useful. The 3-minute rule is underrated.

A useful way to think about it is mechanism first: what changes, what stays constant, and what evidence would distinguish the two. 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.

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

Amazing how much difference one small change can make.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 5 months. I learned that one the expensive way.

You explained the tradeoff really clearly. For me it came down to the conversation.

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. The Jakarta example makes it feel concrete.
