I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. I needed that reminder today.

I am mostly here for the follow-up. I would love to see a follow-up after 8 weeks

This feels a little too vague to be useful. I'd be curious how it feels after a month.

my version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. This is more useful on a tired weekend than on a perfect day
