The small albums habit that changed my lunch break after a tiny failure

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

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

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