A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

Surprised more people aren't choosing Whenever friends go. It seems like the practical answer. I learned that one the expensive way

morning session got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. My friend tried it in Buenos Aires and had the opposite result

I picked After work, mostly becuase it feels easiest to live with. I keep a note about maintenance for exactly this reason

Rest day got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. I would love to see a follow-up after 6 weeks

I picked After work, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. I am curious whether maintenance still feels good next month

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. It sounds small, but the prototype matters

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 7 months. That is the kind of detail beginners miss. That route sounds like type-two fun
