The most quiet part of learning stories from my late summer notes

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.

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 prototype for a while.

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

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.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Mexico City? It sounds small, but the tiny repair matters.

This has cozy competence written all over it. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the library.
