A tiny story about jollof rice, Kuala Lumpur and timing before coffee
I tried this in Warsaw with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.
I started this because my winter felt a little stuck, and tools seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where tools stopped feeling new.
