What ethics looks like when you stop optimizing everything in Lagos

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 3 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

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 know this is a tiny sample size, but after 9 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
