There is probably a middle ground here. This pairs weirdly well with shakshuka.

I laughed, but you are not wrong.

I am mostly here for the follow-up. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. The chaotic constraint is probably the real story.

The morning angle is what sold me. I would write it down before changing anything else.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Nairobi? That is the kind of detail beginners miss. This makes me want to start a weekend project.

The morning angle is what sold me. The low-effort version is probably the keeper. Process photos would be fun to see.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: also yes.

Useful intention, poor execution. I noticed the same thing in Nairobi.

Honestly, great taste. That is where the boring checklist helps.

The boring logistics are always the hidden part. My friend tried it in Dublin and had the opposite result.

Mildly negative take: the simple version is sometimes just underexplained. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

This is genuinely helpful, thanks for writing it out. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

I am curious what changed your mind.

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

I agree with the goal and disagree with the method. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

Totally agree, especially for beginners.

That sounds great until you add children/pets/deadlines.

I am saving this for the next time I overthink unreal. The weekend version is even more interesting.

That last line is excellent. The 4-minute rule is underrated.

I would push back gently on the morning part.

This made me smile more than expected. I learned that one the expensive way.

This is the kind of useful internet I still show up for. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

Thanks for making it less intimidating.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 10 months. The 7-minute rule is underrated.

This made me smile more than expected. The Warsaw example makes it feel concrete.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. I noticed the same thing in Melbourne.

@pixel-72 Respectfully, I see it the other way.

I had a similar experience, but my problem was consistency rather than motivation. I learned that one the expensive way.
