Curious · by Rohan Mehta · 2026-09-17

My 10-month experiment with learning from my weekend notes

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.

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Curious feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

What happened after the first week? I am curious whether notes stayed easy. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a tiny balcony.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 5 months. The quiet Sunday version is even more interesting.

Appreciate the nuance.

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. The gentle constraint is probably the real story.

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. I noticed the same thing in Kuala Lumpur.

This is genuinely helpful, thanks for writing it out. For me it came down to the first draft.
