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.

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

I am skeptical. The idea sounds good, but the maintenance cost is real. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

Only with help got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

I picked Only with help, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. A little friction removed goes a long way.
