A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision

That last line is excellent. I would love to see a follow-up after 9 weeks.

Honestly, great taste. I am curious whether playlists still feels good next month. The second half changed how I felt about the beginning.

What happened after the first week? I am curious whether break stayed easy. I would test it for 3 days before deciding.

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

You explained the tradeoff really clearly. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

This is genuinely helpful, thanks for writing it out. The a neighborhood park detail changes the whole answer. Sound design deserves more credit.

This is the kind of useful internet I still show up for. I would write it down before changing anything else.

I needed the reminder to start smaller.
