This feels like advice from a patient friend. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the corner shop. I like that it feels lived-in instead of over-polished.

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. The useful constraint is probably the real story.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. The Monday morning version is even more interesting.

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. That is the kind of detail beginners miss.

Great point, especially the part about doing. A little friction removed goes a long way.

This reminds me of something a friend in Seoul mentioned. I noticed the same thing in Warsaw.

The conclusion is too broad, but the example is interesting. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

I am mostly here for the follow-up. I would test it for 5 days before deciding. Process photos would be fun to see.

Kind of wild how often photos is the whole issue.
