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.

I am cheering for this update. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

Exactly; the hidden cost is energy.

Same here. It took me too long to learn.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. It sounds small, but the tiny repair matters. This would be a great classroom example.

What would you change if you started over? It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a coworking table.
