Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? This is more useful on a tired first week then on a perfect day

Helpful and not preachy, wich is rare. I would love to see a follow-up after 8 weeks

I wonder how much of this depends on timing. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me
