Which option would you choose this busy month that actually stuck
I tried this in Mexico City with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
I started this because my quiet Sunday felt a little stuck, and advice seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
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
