This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. I would write it down before changing anything else. Small progress still counts

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. The low-effort version is probably the keeper

Love the tiny experiment energy. My friend tried it in Kuala Lumpur and had the opposite result. People underestimate how much sleep changes the answer
