I am saving this for the next time I overthink work. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

What would you change if you started over? It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the kitchen.

Big fan of this approach. That is where the boring checklist helps.

This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. The practical constraint is probably the real story.

Big fan of this approach. I would write it down before changing anything else.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. This is more useful on a tired weekend than on a perfect day.

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. The Mexico City example makes it feel concrete.

@riverRunner91 Kind of wild how often boundary is the whole issue.

That is a surprisingly elegant way to frame it. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a neighborhood park. The uncertainty is part of what makes it interesting.
