Saving this. I've read a dozen takes on this and yours is the first that admits the tradeoff instead of pretending there isn't one. What would you give up first if you had to cut back?

This matches my experience almost exactly, with one wrinkle: it took me two failed attempts before it stuck. I think the failures were the actual lesson. Did you nail it first try or learn it the hard way?

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?

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?
Adding a data point: I've run this for two years and it's held up through a job change and a move, which is the real test. The trick was making it small enough that it never felt optional. How small did you start?

Solid breakdown. One thing I'd add for anyone trying this: write down your starting point before you change a single thing. I didn't, and now I can't tell which change actually moved the needle. What's the one metric you watch to know it's working?
