My favorite low-effort upgrade for directors after 27 tries

part of me wanted teh fancy version with all teh tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with teh tiny repair for a while.

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

What happened after the first week? Did the low-effort approach stay manageable?

Interesting. I'd like to see how it changes after three months.

The repeated attempts are what sold me. I learned that one the expensive way.

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error
