There we go. I don't think we're in disagreement.
One thing people wouldn't know about me online is I am pretty much against "making people feel good" for no reason. For example, I never give away participation trophies in the events I run. I see little point in that sort of extrinsic motivation. The main goal of the articles I write is practical advice for people.
I cannot offer you data, as the 10 minute thing comes from teaching chess for 25 years and seeing thousands of people fail to get past 10 minutes of studying on their own time. Obviously, the ones that do go on to succeed.
But I can offer you very deep insight into the allegory: ryanvelez.com/2019/08/18/10000-patio-for-1500/
