Cities · by Rohan Mehta · 2026-08-31

I finally understand why Cities people care about transit from the train station

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

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.

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

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 6 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

I am saving this for the next time I overthink understand. I learned that one the expensive way. Local context changes everything.
