A gentle rant about community and expectations that actually stuck

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 3 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

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

What happened after the first week? I am curious whether stuck stayed easy. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.

Totally agree, especially for beginners.
