I am skeptical. The idea sounds good, but the maintenance cost is real. For me it came down to the prototype. The simple version is usually the one people actually repeat.

Love the tiny experiment energy. The weekend version is even more interesting.

Glad you shared it; small wins count. This is more useful on a tired lunch break than on a perfect day.

I disagree a bit. evening matters, but the bigger issue is usually expectations. For me it came down to the playlist.

Beautifully put. I needed that reminder today. I would test it for 5 days before deciding.

I agree with the goal and disagree with the method. The late summer version is even more interesting.

You explained the tradeoff really clearly. I noticed the same thing in Seoul.

This is the kind of useful internet I still show up for. The 10-minute rule is underrated.
