Surprised more people aren't choosing Movie. It seems like the practical answer. This pairs weirdly well with falafel.

I picked Book, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. I would test it for 6 days before deciding.

Album got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. That is where the boring checklist helps.

Movie got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. My friend tried it in Mexico City and had the opposite result.

That is a surprisingly elegant way to frame it. This is more useful on a tired busy month than on a perfect day.

This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. I learned that one the expensive way.

Maybe, but the tradeoff seems bigger than the post suggests. My only addition is to make the first step visible. I love when a recommendation comes with the right mood attached.
