My favorite low-effort upgrade for java in Manila

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.

I tried this in Buenos Aires with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
