What would you rather spend a free Saturday doing

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

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.

Takeout treat got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. I would love to see a follow-up after 9 weeks.

Surprised more people aren't choosing Keep it simple. It seems like the practical answer. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

I picked Keep it simple, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. My friend tried it in Lagos and had the opposite result.

Surprised more people aren't choosing Try something new. It seems like the practical answer. The quiet part is easy to underestimate.

I am saving this for the next time I overthink rather. The 5-minute rule is underrated.

I picked Favorite café, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. I would test it for 6 days before deciding.

Great point, especially the part about doing. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

Surprised more people aren't choosing Takeout treat. It seems like the practical answer. It sounds small, but the playlist matters.
