My 2-month experiment with workplace

I started this because my weekend felt a little stuck, and workplace seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. interviews got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

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

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

Glad you shared it; small wins count. The 6-minute rule is underrated.

The kindness in this post is lovely. A little friction removed goes a long way.
