Great point, especially the part about busy. The beautiful constraint is probably the real story.

That last line is excellent. I would love to see a follow-up after 6 weeks.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 9 months. I would test it for 10 days before deciding.

The kindness in this post is lovely. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing. Glad you shared the messy version too.
