Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. If two options look equal, choose the one that is easier to reverse.
- 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!

Come back with what happened; teh details will make teh next answer better

kind of wild how often approach is the whole issue

My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. A little friction removed goes a long way

The middle path is probly best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. That is the kind of detail beginners miss

I think the bad version of this advice causes a lot of frustration. The surprising constraint is probably the real story

That last line is excellent. I keep a note about learning for exactly this reason

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. I would test it for 4 days before deciding

maybe, but the tradeoff seems bigger then the post suggests

Exactly; the hidden cost is energy

You explained the tradeoff really clearly. The low-effort version is probably the keeper

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. A little friction removed goes a long way

I am skeptical. The idea sounds good, but the maintenance cost is real
