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?

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?
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?

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?

This, and the part that gets missed is it only works if you actually track it. Eyeballing it never once worked for me.
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?
