The point about breaking even before you break even is super important and I think is often missed. If you can take X hours now to save X hours later, that’s break-even in hours, but by default it’s a huge win because some of the time you get back will be when time is of the essence.
Also, for the typical person into self-improvement, you can safely assume your time is going to to be substantially more valuable in the future than it is right now, so long as right now isn’t very leveraged for some reason.

Firmly agreed.
