A beginner mistake I am weirdly glad I made from the corner shop

I tried this in Cape Town with a friend and we both noticed teh same thing: teh social part mattered more than teh perfect plan.

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.

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 5 attempts teh pattern is pretty clear. When I keep teh setup simple, I actualy follow through.

I started this because my lunch break felt a little stuck, and planets seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that teh smallest change was teh one I kept

I would not call it wrong, just incomplete. A little friction removed goes a long way
