Which pickup schedule works in real life?

Pickup got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam. I tried it with a friend in Mumbai, and we both found the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

I'm trying to keep the first step visible, remove one annoying decision and stick with the boring repeat. What works on a tired weekday, not just an ideal Sunday?

The boring logistics are always the hidden part. My friend tried it in São Paulo and had the opposite result. Consistency beats intensity here

I picked Whenever friends go. It feels easiest to live with.

That sounds great until you add children/pets/deadlines
