Explain Like I'm Five · by Sofía Hernández · 2026-10-02
What I wish I knew before trying explainers in Manila
would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about teh version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 3 attempts teh pattern is pretty clear. When I keep teh setup simple, I actually follow through.
This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. simple got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through teh part where questions stopped feeling new
