Notes from a very normal first week with Funny without making it complicated

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Funny feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. The messy constraint is probably the real story.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Lagos? My friend tried it in Mumbai and had the opposite result. The follow-through matters more than the perfect plan.

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. That is the kind of detail beginners miss. I needed this reminder today.

What would you change if you started over? Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. That is where the boring checklist helps.

I am saving this for the next time I overthink making. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error. The follow-through matters more than the perfect plan.

Good reminder that boring can be good. I am curious whether memes still feels good next month.

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. For me it came down to the playlist.
