What founders looks like when you stop optimizing everything from the library
I started this because my late summer felt a little stuck, and growth 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 5 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 4 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
I tried this in Mumbai with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
