This is adorable and oddly motivating. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. That is the kind of detail beginners miss.

You explained the tradeoff really clearly. The the corner shop detail changes the whole answer.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. For me it came down to the routine. The second half changed how I felt about the beginning.

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

I am saving this for the next time I overthink optimizing. I would write it down before changing anything else.

This is genuinely helpful, thanks for writing it out. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. I would test it for 5 days before deciding.

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. My friend tried it in Lisbon and had the opposite result.

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the train station.
