The simplicity is the whole reason this sticks. Every time I've over-engineered something like this I quietly abandoned it within a month. Stripping it to one clear step is underrated. Do you have a fallback for the days you just don't feel like it?
I went down this exact path and the one thing I'd warn about is how easy it is to quietly stop once life gets busy. The system has to survive a bad week. How do you handle the off days?
I'll be honest, I was skeptical reading the title, but the reasoning holds up. The bit about cutting what you can't explain in a sentence is the part I needed. What's something you cut that you don't miss?
