A beginner mistake I am weirdly glad I made without making it complicated

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

I started this because my quiet Sunday felt a little stuck, and laptops seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. This is more useful on a tired first week than on a perfect day.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? That is the kind of detail beginners miss.

Fair point, but I had the opposite experience. This is more useful on a tired busy month than on a perfect day. I would love to see the benchmark numbers.

The best answer in the thread, honestly.

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. My friend tried it in Kuala Lumpur and had the opposite result.

Fair point, but I had the opposite experience. I would love to see a follow-up after 2 weeks.
