Today I Learned · by Hugo Sánchez · 2026-10-09
A surprisingly useful lesson from a tiny balcony for absolute beginners
I tried this in Mumbai with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Today I Learned feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.
