You explained the tradeoff really clearly. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me. The follow-through matters more than the perfect plan.

This has cozy competence written all over it. The lunch break version is even more interesting. I needed this reminder today.

Can you share what you tried before this? I would love to see a follow-up after 5 weeks.

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. This pairs weirdly well with shakshuka.
