Which sounds most like your style with a beautiful constraint

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the routine for a while.

This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. I noticed the same thing in Dublin.

Yes, definitely got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. A little friction removed goes a long way.

I picked Maybe later, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.
