I agree with the goal and disagree with the method. The delightful constraint is probably the real story.

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. I would write it down before changing anything else.

The boring logistics are always the hidden part. The 2-minute rule is underrated.

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. I noticed the same thing in Berlin.

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. I am curious whether telescopes still feels good next month.

Can you share what you tried before this? I would test it for 5 days before deciding. I appreciate when people separate evidence from speculation.
