This held up when I tested it, with the caveat that it works best if you're honest with yourself about the numbers. Self-delusion is the silent killer here. What do you track to keep yourself honest?

Good stuff. The one thing I'd flag for newcomers is that the first month feels like nothing's happening, and that's exactly when people bail. How did you stay convinced before you had results to point to?

Really practical, thank you. Gentle pushback though — the timeline feels optimistic for most people. Mine took roughly double and I think that's normal. How long did it actually take you, not the highlight reel?

This is the kind of post that should get pinned. The advice is everywhere but the honesty about how long it takes isn't. What's the part people quit right before it pays off?
Adding for anyone reading: start smaller than feels reasonable. The momentum matters way more than the size of the first step.

Genuinely useful. The detail about the approach itself is the bit I'll actually use — most posts on this stay surface-level. Does it hold up when things get busy and you can't be precise about it?

Counterpoint, said with respect: this works great until your situation changes. It carried me for a year, then I outgrew it and had to rebuild. Any sense of when someone should move past this approach?
