The thing nobody told me about culture

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 2 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

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.

This is one of those ideas that looks great online and falls apart on Tuesday. I would write it down before changing anything else.

I was going to disagree, but your second sentence got me.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

Love the tiny experiment energy. The the library detail changes the whole answer.

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. I would test it for 10 days before deciding.
