This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather then trying to solve everything at once. You will learn more from a simple version repeated three times than from a perfect plan you never start.
- 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

my practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. The Monday morning version is even more interesting

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. That is where the boring checklist helps

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. It sounds small, but the conversation matters

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.

- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.

Source: mostly hard-won experience and comparing notes with people who stuck with it

The kindness in this post is lovely. I would write it down before changing anything else

Kind of wild how often usually is the whole issue

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about budget. The 6-minute rule is underrated

really good advice, and it feels doable. I would test it for 10 days before deciding
