This is adorable and oddly motivating. I would write it down before changing anything else.

Great point, especially the part about unreal. This is more useful on a tired commute than on a perfect day.

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. My friend tried it in Buenos Aires and had the opposite result.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. A little friction removed goes a long way.

Great point, especially the part about morning. It sounds small, but the first draft matters.

This reminds me of something a friend in Melbourne mentioned. This is more useful on a tired quiet Sunday than on a perfect day.
