What mistake taught you the most about people when life is busy?

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. Most people skip the boring setup, but that setup is what makes the good habit survive a busy week.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

Hope this helps!

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. I would write it down before changing anything else.

That should give you a solid first pass.

This is the kind of disagreement I like.

@vn_otter9 That sounds great until you add children/pets/deadlines.

That is the part people skip.

I like this more than the top-level advice.

My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. This pairs weirdly well with lentil soup.
