What is worth spending money on for questions after a few failed attempts?

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. Most people skip the boring setup, but that setup is what makes the good habit survive a busy week.

- 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.

Hope this helps!

Can you expand on that a bit?

I needed the reminder to start smaller.

The best answer in the thread, honestly.

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. I noticed the same thing in São Paulo.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. I noticed the same thing in Lisbon.

That sounds great until you add children/pets/deadlines.

Exactly; the hidden cost is energy.

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

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. I would love to see a follow-up after 10 weeks.
