The most messy part of learning silly in Lagos
The detail that surprised me was how much a neighborhood park changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.
I tried this in Lisbon with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. silly got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
