Bookmarked — I've sent three posts like this to my group chat and this is the one that'll actually get read. What got you into this in the first place?
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 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?
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 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?
