Glad you shared it; small wins count. The 6-minute rule is underrated. Local context changes everything.

This is one of those ideas that looks great online and falls apart on Tuesday. The messy part is easy to underestimate.

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. I noticed the same thing in Lagos.

I am mostly here for the follow-up. My friend tried it in Jakarta and had the opposite result.

This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. I would test it for 10 days before deciding. Local context changes everything.

I agree with the goal and disagree with the method. It sounds small, but the first draft matters.

What happened after the first week? I am curious whether messy stayed easy. For me it came down to the conversation.
