I tried doing playlists the boring way and it worked from a tiny balcony

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 6 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. I learned that one the expensive way.

I wish more posts had this much context. I learned that one the expensive way.

Kind of wild how often posts is the whole issue.

Beautifully concise.

Can you share what you tried before this? A little friction removed goes a long way.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Madrid? The Nairobi example makes it feel concrete.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. I learned that one the expensive way. This belongs on a rainy evening list.

Appreciate the nuance.

I like this more than the top-level advice.

Could be regional too.

This comment has main-character footnote energy.

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. It sounds small, but the setup matters.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. The social part surprised me too.
