This held up when I tested it, with the caveat that it works best if you're honest with yourself about the numbers. Self-delusion is the silent killer here. What do you track to keep yourself honest?
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?
This is the kind of post that should get pinned. The advice is everywhere but the honesty about how long it takes isn't. What's the part people quit right before it pays off?

The part that resonates is that the boring version wins. Every shiny shortcut I tried quietly cost me more time than it saved. Have you found any shortcut that actually was worth it?

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?
Really practical, thank you. Gentle pushback though — the timeline feels optimistic for most people. Mine took roughly double and I think that's normal. How long did it actually take you, not the highlight reel?

I learned every bit of this the expensive way instead of reading it somewhere first. If you had to name the single biggest mistake people make with this, what would it be?
