Wish I'd read this three years ago — would've saved me a whole detour. The framing alone is worth the post. What changed your mind from however you used to think about it?

Worth saying this works way better once the fundamentals are in place. I jumped straight here as a beginner and it didn't click until I'd put in the boring reps first. Would you tell a total beginner to start here, or build up to it?
I keep tripping on the second point specifically. I know exactly what to do, I just don't stay consistent past week two. How do you keep going once the novelty wears off and it's just work?
This is the part nobody tells you about: the boring middle stretch where nothing visibly works. I almost quit around month three, then it compounded all at once. Did you hit a wall like that, or did momentum come early?
The mindset shift here is bigger than the tactic itself. Once I stopped treating it as a quick fix and started treating it as a habit, everything got easier. How long before it stopped feeling like effort for you?
