The thing nobody told me about habits after 9 tries

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. support got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

That would annoy me more than it helped.

Fair pushback.

I disagree a bit. tries matters, but the bigger issue is usually expectations. My friend tried it in Cairo and had the opposite result.

The conclusion is too broad, but the example is interesting. This is more useful on a tired quiet Sunday than on a perfect day.
