I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? I would test it for 8 days before deciding. The follow-through matters more than the perfect plan.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. I noticed the same thing in Warsaw. Small progress still counts.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. I keep a note about jokes for exactly this reason.

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. I would test it for 7 days before deciding.
