What is the most underrated choice here

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the route for a while

Surprised more people aren't choosing Try something new. It seems like the practical answer. The social part surprised me too

Glad you shared it; small wins count. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing

Keep it simple got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. For me it came down to the practice run

I picked Try something new, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. I noticed the same thing in Lisbon

I picked Keep it simple, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. I would write it down before changing anything else
