I disagree a bit. walk matters, but the bigger issue is usually expectations. This is more useful on a tired commute than on a perfect day. Process photos would be fun to see.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. The lunch break version is even more interesting.

That is a surprisingly elegant way to frame it. I noticed the same thing in Seoul.

I would push back gently on the walk part. This is more useful on a tired first week than on a perfect day.

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. I would write it down before changing anything else.

Love the tiny experiment energy. I learned that one the expensive way.

This reminds me of something a friend in Dublin mentioned. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the corner shop.

Fair point, but I had the opposite experience. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 4 months. For me it came down to the first draft.
