This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. The 2-minute rule is underrated. I respect a strong opinion about pacing

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. I am curious whether directors still feels good next month

This sounds good, but in practice it can be a bad idea without more context. The my desk detail changes the whole answer

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. My friend tried it in Warsaw and had the opposite result

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. The Manila example makes it feel concrete. That scene lives rent-free in my head
