Unpopular Opinions · by Emma Tremblay · 2026-09-18

What I wish I knew before trying opinions in real life

A few notes from my attempt:

- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the playlist for a while.

This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. I would test it for 9 days before deciding.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? The commute version is even more interesting.
