I think the bad version of this advice causes a lot of frustration. I would write it down before changing anything else.

Anecdotally, this tracks with what I have seen. The surprising constraint is probably the real story.

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option. The 10-minute rule is underrated.

Good clarification — I read it differently at first.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. The ambitious part is easy to underestimate.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. The awkward part is easy to underestimate.

This made me smile more than expected. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. For me it came down to the setup.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. I would love to see a follow-up after 6 weeks.

Mildly negative take: the simple version is sometimes just underexplained. I am curious whether clubs still feels good next month.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 6 months. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

That last line is excellent. I would test it for 5 days before deciding.

What happened after the first week? I am curious whether sense stayed easy. The delightful part is easy to underestimate.
