Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. I would test it for 6 days before deciding. Glad you shared the messy version too.

I am mostly here for the follow-up. For me it came down to the practice run.

The kindness in this post is lovely. My only addition is to make the first step visible. Glad you shared the messy version too.

Honestly, great taste. That is where the boring checklist helps.

Honestly, great taste. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. That is where the boring checklist helps.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. That is the kind of detail beginners miss. People underestimate how much sleep changes the answer.

There is a hidden assumption here that not everyone shares. That is where the boring checklist helps.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.
