I am cheering for this update. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error. People underestimate how much sleep changes the answer.

What happened after the first week? I am curious whether badly stayed easy. I used to overcomplicate this constantly. People underestimate how much sleep changes the answer.

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

Honestly, great taste. I keep a note about stories for exactly this reason.

Exactly; the hidden cost is energy.

That is a surprisingly elegant way to frame it. For me it came down to the practice run.

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. The surprising constraint is probably the real story.
