A beginner mistake I am weirdly glad I made

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

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

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

This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. A little friction removed goes a long way.
