Which advice about questions did you eventually ignore on a budget?

My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. I would test it for 8 days before deciding.

That is a good boundary.

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. The trap is trying to optimize before you have feedback.

- 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.

Come back with what happened; the details will make the next answer better.

Kind of wild how often start is the whole issue.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Jakarta? The the train station detail changes the whole answer.

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. I would test it for 6 days before deciding.

This made me smile more than expected. A little friction removed goes a long way.
