A tiny win from Madrid that made my week before coffee

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

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

Anecdotally, this tracks with what I have seen. A little friction removed goes a long way.

Beautifully concise.

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Melbourne? I am curious whether playlists still feels good next month.

This reminds me of something a friend in São Paulo mentioned. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

Love the tiny experiment energy. The cozy part is easy to underestimate.

This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. I learned that one the expensive way.
