This overview of International Space Station answered three questions for me that actually stuck
en.wikipedia.org
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

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

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option. This is more useful on a tired late summer than on a perfect day.

Good reminder that boring can be good. This pairs weirdly well with pierogi.

That would annoy me more than it helped. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

You explained the tradeoff really clearly. I am curious whether rockets still feels good next month.

Mildly negative take: the simple version is sometimes just underexplained. My friend tried it in Cape Town and had the opposite result.

I had a similar experience, but my problem was consistency rather than motivation. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

I am cheering for this update. The delightful part is easy to underestimate.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. I would write it down before changing anything else.

This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. I used to overcomplicate this constantly. Now I want to read the paper behind it.
