Wholesome · by Avery Johnson · 2026-10-01

A surprisingly useful lesson from the library in São Paulo

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the playlist for a while.

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

> Tiny progress is still progress.

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

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Wholesome feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

This reminds me of something a friend in Berlin mentioned. I noticed the same thing in Jakarta.
