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 lines up with what I've seen, but the part that took me longest was knowing when to stop tweaking and just commit. I burned months optimizing before I'd validated the basics. Did it click early for you, or was there a stretch you almost bailed?

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?
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?

Tried this after reading a comment just like yours months ago and it stuck. Funny how it's always a random reply that changes things.

Worth saying this works way better once the fundamentals are in place. I jumped straight here as a beginner and it didn't click until I'd put in the boring reps first. Would you tell a total beginner to start here, or build up to it?
