A beginner mistake I am weirdly glad I made for absolute beginners

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 4 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

The detail that surprised me was how much a neighborhood park changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

I tried this in Lagos with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

The conclusion is too broad, but the example is interesting. A little friction removed goes a long way.

Respectfully, I see it the other way.

I am mostly here for the follow-up. I would test it for 2 days before deciding.
