This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. I would love to see a follow-up after 2 weeks.

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

You just saved me a bad purchase.

This is genuinely helpful, thanks for writing it out.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: also yes.

I needed the reminder to start smaller.

That is a much better way to say it.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a coworking table.

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

Adding this to my notes.

Appreciate the nuance.

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

This reminds me of something a friend in Buenos Aires mentioned. That is where the boring checklist helps.

What would you change if you started over?
