Can we talk about the underrated side of indie after 14 tries

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

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the recipe for a while.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
