What is the kindest way to start with mobility?

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

I started this because my Monday morning felt a little stuck, and mobility seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. You will learn more from a simple version repeated three times than from a perfect plan you never start.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.
