Can someone explain the practical difference between pc and the setup without fancy tools?
Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.
I started this because my first week felt a little stuck, and indie seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. This pairs weirdly well with falafel.

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.

Same here. It took me too long to learn.

Small caveat: context changes the answer a lot.

My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. The Monday morning version is even more interesting.

@rapid_river I think both things can be true.

Good clarification — I read it differently at first.

Respectfully, I see it the other way.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: also yes.
