How do you get better at advice without burning out in real life?

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. I would love to see a follow-up after 7 weeks.

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. I noticed the same thing in Cairo.

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. Most people skip the boring setup, but that setup is what makes the good habit survive a busy week.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

Hope this helps!

Kind of wild how often notes is the whole issue.

I needed the reminder to start smaller.
