My favorite low-effort upgrade for fiction that actually stuck

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 route for a while.

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

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. The cozy constraint is probably the real story.

Kind of wild how often setup is the whole issue.

That is a good question for people with more experience than me. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a trailhead.

Could be regional too.
