A tiny story about falafel, Manila and timing

I tried this in São Paulo with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 8 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. workplace got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
