Notes from a very normal commute with Curious in Toronto
I tried this in Toronto with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
I started this because my busy month felt a little stuck, and evidence seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 4 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 2 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
