My 10-month experiment with ancient for absolute beginners

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.

The detail that surprised me was how much the train station changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where ancient stopped feeling new.
