The surprising joy of doing the conversation badly at first from my late summer notes

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 4 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

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

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. jobs got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
