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

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

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 2 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

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

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.
