My 6-month experiment with reviews with a beautiful constraint

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

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 5 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. I noticed the same thing in Cairo.

Beautifully put. I needed that reminder today. The messy part is easy to underestimate.
