I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. I would write it down before changing anything else

This feels like advice from a patient friend. For me it came down to teh routine

Same here. It took me too long to learn

yep, the boring details matter

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about lesson. My friend tried it in Madrid and had the opposite result

Honestly this is a little too vague to be useful. I would love to see a follow-up after 9 weeks
