The middle path is probly best: try it cheaply keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. My only addition is to make teh first step visible

my practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a coworking table

I agree with the goal and disagree with the method. This would have saved me alot of trial and error

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. You will learn more from a simple version repeated three times than from a perfect plan you never start.
- 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.
Hope this helps!

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. For me it came down to the route. Glad you shared the messy version too

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. My only addition is to make the first step visible

That should give you a solid first pass

That is a surprisingly elegant way to frame it. I noticed the same thing in Lisbon. Small progress still counts

I disagree a bit. money matters, but the bigger issue is usually expectations. I learned that one the expensive way
