This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. My friend tried it in Istanbul and had the opposite result. This is kinder advice than most of the internet manages

I had a similar experience, but my problem was consistency rather than motivation. I am curious whether facts still feels good next month

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. The low-effort version is probably the keeper

I disagree a bit. made matters, but the bigger issue is usually expectations. The 4-minute rule is underrated
