Commenting is like dieting. You can always start tomorrow.
It reminds me of flow charts. One job we had to do flow charts of
everything. So we worked up a system where we used physical scissors
and sticky tape to paste the comments from the code onto big sheets of
paper, and a secretary made them pretty.
Nobody ever looked at the flow charts, but it did help discipline us to
comment every branch in the (micro-)code.
