Can we talk about the underrated side of habits in Cape Town

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. health got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

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.

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

I tried this in Manila with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

That is a surprisingly elegant way to frame it.
