The thing nobody told me about film from my weekend notes
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
I tried this in Berlin with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

What happened after the first week? I am curious whether notes stayed easy. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near my desk. I respect a strong opinion about pacing.

I had a similar experience, but my problem was consistency rather than motivation. A little friction removed goes a long way.

I think the bad version of this advice causes a lot of frustration. This is more useful on a tired busy month than on a perfect day.

Good reminder that boring can be good. I would love to see a follow-up after 9 weeks.

The thing angle is what sold me. That is where the boring checklist helps.
