Love the tiny experiment energy. This is more useful on a tired busy month than on a perfect day

interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 7 months. I would test it for 8 days before deciding

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Dublin? The low-effort version is probably the keeper

Great point, especially the part about finally. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me. People underestimate how much sleep changes the answer

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. My only addition is to make the first step visible. Small progress still counts

There is a hidden assumption here that not everyone shares. I would love to see a follow-up after 10 weeks
