My 10-month experiment with directors without making it complicated

The detail that surprised me was how much the library changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

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

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.

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. I would test it for 8 days before deciding.

There is a hidden assumption here that not everyone shares. I would love to see a follow-up after 6 weeks.
