What training looks like when you stop optimizing everything in Lisbon
Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 2 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

Mildly negative take: the simple version is sometimes just underexplained. The my desk detail changes the whole answer.

I am skeptical. The idea sounds good, but the maintenance cost is real. The Warsaw example makes it feel concrete.

Maybe, but the tradeoff seems bigger than the post suggests. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the corner shop.
