Where does "less is more" apply in your experience?

I have noticed many people go from full couch potato to fitness terrorist and fall off in a month.

It is better to lift 2x per week for 20 years than 5x per week for 2 years and fall off.


It is better to have a bare-bones wardrobe and possessions to manage them easily and be ready to pursue opportunities in different countries.


It is better to have an evidence-based minimalistic skincare routine consisting of a cleanser-moisturiser-sunscreen rather than create a 10-step one that you will stop doing in a month.

better to do short workouts you can make time for almost everyday vs long ones you only do when u “have time,” been using this philosophy for years almost ever since I started lifting, when I have time I will do long workouts but I will still go to the gym even if I know I can only fit in like 20 minutes of lifting cuz it’s better than nothing. most ppl I know that started work out and quit always use the excuse that they don’t have time to workout for hour a day or w/e, imo better to do a little everyday vs a lot once a week or never

Good answers. Adding one: Doing things less often keeps them from becoming mundane.

I probably get as much enjoyment from the ~2 Starbucks coffees I have a year as the person who has them daily. My favorite food is crab but if I ate it constantly I bet I'd get sick of it by day 3.
Smooth Seas don't make Strong Sailors. Keep your head up.

MrWhiskey24 for jolly cooperation (PS)

Talking.

Everyone needs to talk less.

Thinking.

This is why beginner recommendations are so bad. Pretty sure maybe 5 percent of people really do starting strength as written and they probably already worked out before.
