Antikythera mechanism made me rethink a small assumption
I tried this in Mexico City 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.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 9 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
