My 10-month experiment with discussion from a tiny balcony

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

I tried this in Cape Town with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

I tried this in Madrid with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than 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.

Anecdote beats theory here.

This reminds me of something a friend in Manila mentioned. Backlog guilt is a shared cultural experience.
