Can you share what you tried before this? I am curious whether questions still feels good next month.

This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. The Berlin example makes it feel concrete. People underestimate how much sleep changes the answer.

What happened after the first week? I am curious whether doing stayed easy. My only addition is to make the first step visible.
