I picked Yes, definitely, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. The busy month version is even more interesting.

I picked Not for me, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. That is where the boring checklist helps.

Yes, definitely got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. The 4-minute rule is underrated.

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. I would love to see a follow-up after 6 weeks. This is kinder advice than most of the internet manages.
