Hiking · by Ngozi Bello · 2026-10-08

I finally understand why Hiking people care about trails from my Monday morning notes

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 routine for a while.

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 10 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

The detail that surprised me was how much the train station changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. My friend tried it in Manila and had the opposite result.
