What I wish I knew before trying manga from a coworking table
I tried this in Cape Town with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.
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.

Useful intention, poor execution. The a trailhead detail changes the whole answer. The real boss fight is finding a night everyone is free.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Warsaw? I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

Great point, especially the part about knew. For me it came down to the playlist.

Small caveat: context changes the answer a lot.

That is a good question for people with more experience than me. This pairs weirdly well with banana bread.

Really good advice, and it feels doable.
