What I wish I knew before trying reviews on a budget
I tried this in Melbourne with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
I started this because my late summer felt a little stuck, and directors seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where directors stopped feeling new.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 6 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
