What happened after the first week? I am curious whether making stayed easy. I would test it for 7 days before deciding. Glad you shared the messy version too.

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. For me it came down to the first draft.

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

This made me smile more than expected. The 7-minute rule is underrated.
