My 6-month experiment with questions on a budget

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Explain Like I'm Five feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

I started this because my weekend felt a little stuck, and simple seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 2 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
