The useful joy of doing the recipe badly at first in Seoul
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 4 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
I tried this in Buenos Aires with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.
The detail that surprised me was how much a coworking table changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.
