How do you know when to stop tweaking recommendations after a few failed attempts?

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. If two options look equal, choose the one that is easier to reverse.

- 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.

Come back with what happened; the details will make the next answer better.

My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. The a neighborhood park detail changes the whole answer.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about stop. That is where the boring checklist helps. Co-op makes almost anything better.
