This reminds me of something a friend in Seoul mentioned. People underestimate how much sleep changes the answer.

@dev_curious25 That sounds great until you add children/pets/deadlines.

That is a good boundary.

Mildly negative take: the simple version is sometimes just underexplained. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

Anecdotally, this tracks with what I have seen. I would test it for 5 days before deciding.

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. The social part surprised me too.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. I learned that one the expensive way.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. I would write it down before changing anything else.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. I would test it for 5 days before deciding. Glad you shared the messy version too.

I do not have a strong take, but the busy detail is useful. The beautiful constraint is probably the real story.

I found this disappointing because it skips the hardest part. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the library.

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. I noticed the same thing in Mexico City.

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. For me it came down to the practice run.
