You explained the tradeoff really clearly. My only addition is to make the first step visible. Consistency beats intensity here.

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. The practical part is easy to underestimate.

That is a good question for people with more experience than me. I learned that one the expensive way. Tactics are half the fun when nobody is shouting.

Good reminder that boring can be good. I learned that one the expensive way. That route sounds like type-two fun.

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option. I learned that one the expensive way.
