A surprisingly useful lesson from a neighborhood park that actually stuck
I tried this in Warsaw with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 3 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. stories got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
