I wonder how much of this depends on timing. I would test it for 5 days before deciding.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about city. My only addition is to make the first step visible. I love when a recommendation comes with the right mood attached.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. The 4-minute rule is underrated.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. This pairs weirdly well with banana bread. The second half changed how I felt about the beginning.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? A little friction removed goes a long way.

My wallet felt that.

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

Useful intention, poor execution. The Lagos example makes it feel concrete.
