Big fan of this approach. The a tiny balcony detail changes the whole answer.

I agree with the goal and disagree with the method. My friend tried it in São Paulo and had the opposite result. Consistency beats intensity here.

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

Good reminder that boring can be good. I keep a note about bikes for exactly this reason.

The conclusion is too broad, but the example is interesting. The social part surprised me too.

Good reminder that boring can be good. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

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

This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. Recovery is training too.

I would push back gently on the chaotic part. I would test it for 9 days before deciding.

Can you expand on that a bit?

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

This made me smile more than expected. The 5-minute rule is underrated.

Fair point, but I had the opposite experience. The 9-minute rule is underrated. A tailwind can fix an entire personality for ten minutes.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.
