What mistake taught you the most about mobility after a few failed attempts?

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 2 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 10 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

I started this because my lunch break felt a little stuck, and mobility 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. The Kuala Lumpur example makes it feel concrete.

That made the concept click.

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. The trap is trying to optimize before you have feedback.

- 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.

That should give you a solid first pass.
