Short answer: the answer depends on context, but here is the general rule.
**Why:** once you have done it once, the second time takes half the effort. Specifically with stop: start simple and add complexity only when justified.
**Watch out for:** overtraining without adequate recovery. This catches a lot of people who assume stop is simpler than it actually is.
**To go deeper:** find 2–3 real examples from people who have dealt with it in production.
Realistic time to feel confident: faster than you think once you get the first working example.

Honest take, because I wish someone had told me this earlier.
Everything you will read about stop will make it sound more complicated than it is. Here is what 6 years of working with strategy has actually taught me.
Everyone who's good at this now was terrible at it for longer than they'd admit.
What actually moved the needle for me: I stopped trying to understand everything before starting, and just committed to one focused hour a day for a month. After that, went from amateur to regional finalist.
The one thing I would prioritise: do not compare your beginning to someone else's middle.
The learning curve is real but it is not as steep as it looks from the outside.
