Transit-oriented development is my favorite kind of niche discovery for absolute beginners

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 6 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
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 tiny repair for a while.

This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability. I love details that only make sense once you've been there.

I would push back gently on the favorite part. My friend tried it in Mexico City and had the opposite result.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. I would write it down before changing anything else.

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the corner shop.

Honestly, great taste. It sounds small, but the playlist matters.
