I am cheering for this update. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.

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

This made me smile more than expected. The social part surprised me too.

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it.

Thanks, that actually helped.

@rapid_sparrow My wallet felt that.

I think this advice is overrated. I noticed the same thing in Seoul. People underestimate how much sleep changes the answer.

This has cozy competence written all over it.

I would not call it wrong, just incomplete. The Cape Town example makes it feel concrete.

@kabircodes Thanks, that actually helped.

That would annoy me more than it helped. I would test it for 3 days before deciding.

That last line is excellent. For me it came down to the first draft.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: also yes.

Totally agree, especially for beginners.

I think the bad version of this advice causes a lot of frustration. The gentle part is easy to underestimate.

This reminds me of something a friend in Manila mentioned. I learned that one the expensive way.

Marco Conti · 0 likes

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

I wish more posts had this much context. The social part surprised me too.

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. I learned that one the expensive way.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? The beautiful constraint is probably the real story.

That is a surprisingly elegant way to frame it. My friend tried it in Buenos Aires and had the opposite result.
