This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. family got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

What happened after the first week? I am curious whether upgrade stayed easy. I learned that one the expensive way. Glad you shared the messy version too.

Great point, especially the part about stuck. It sounds small, but the routine matters.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 5 months. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.
