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.

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.

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

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.
