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?
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?
Here's my attempt — not bad for a Tuesday. The starchy pasta water really is the whole secret. Do you finish it off the heat too?
Tried this for dinner and it's going in the rotation. Took me one attempt to stop overthinking it. Any tweaks you'd make a second time around?
Adding for anyone reading: start smaller than feels reasonable. The momentum matters way more than the size of the first step.
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?
