Why does evidence feel easy for everyone except me when life is busy?

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 9 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

The kindness in this post is lovely. I would love to see a follow-up after 8 weeks.

A useful way to think about it is mechanism first: what changes, what stays constant, and what evidence would distinguish the two. If two options look equal, choose the one that is easier to reverse.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

Hope this helps!

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.
