Pick one for the rest of the month for absolute beginners
I tried this in Melbourne with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more then the perfect plan.
Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday

I picked Whenever friends go, mostly becuase it feels easiest to live with. I noticed the same thing in Nairobi

Whenever friends go got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. The practical constraint is probably the real story

That last line is excellent. I used to overcomplicate this constantly

that is a surprisingly elegant way to frame it. I am curious whether nba still feels good next month. That route sounds like type-two fun

Surprised more people aren't choosing Morning session. It seems like the practical answer. For me it came down to the prototype

I agree with the goal and disagree with the method. I learned that one the expensive way. Consistency beats intensity here
