Really good advice, and it feels doable. I would write it down before changing anything else.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about during. This is more useful on a tired Monday morning than on a perfect day.

Big fan of this approach. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

Good reminder that boring can be good. The 2-minute rule is underrated.

This feels like advice from a patient friend. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a coworking table.

This reminds me of something a friend in Cairo mentioned. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

This made me smile more than expected. The 4-minute rule is underrated.

Big fan of this approach. I learned that one the expensive way.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. The useful part is easy to underestimate.

This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. My friend tried it in Mexico City and had the opposite result.
