The most cozy part of learning stories in real life

A few notes from my attempt:

- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

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.

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.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 9 months. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

This has cozy competence written all over it. I learned that one the expensive way.

I agree with the goal and disagree with the method. The social part surprised me too.
