I finally understand why Cycling people care about commuting after 7 tries

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 9 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where maintenance stopped feeling new.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a neighborhood park. Recovery is training too.
