Settle a friendly Cozy Places debate
The detail that surprised me was how much a family dinner changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.
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.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 6 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

Beautifully put. I needed that reminder today. I would write it down before changing anything else.

I picked Only with help, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. That is where the boring checklist helps.

Surprised more people aren't choosing Yes, definitely. It seems like the practical answer. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

I like this more than the top-level advice.

Maybe later got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. My only addition is to make the first step visible.
