Top 5 picks after three months of testing
It started as a half-plan on a Tuesday and somehow became the highlight of the week. I wrote down everything while it was fresh, mostly so future-me could relive it — but if this helps you pick your own version of it, even better. A few practical notes before you try it: bring cash, give…

What nobody tells you about starting out
The trick, if there is one, is to go early and keep expectations light. Lines move fast, people are kind, and the small stuff — the extra napkin, the window seat — quietly stacks into a good time. Ranking things is a love language. This list is subjective, unscientific and updated constantly — argue with…

A weekend itinerary you can copy exactly
I tested this for a month before writing anything. Three takeaways survived contact with reality: it is cheaper than it looks, it rewards consistency over intensity, and the boring option is usually the one that works. The photos barely do it justice, which is exactly why I keep a blog instead of just a camera…

What I learned from doing it every day for 30 days
I tested this for a month before writing anything. Three takeaways survived contact with reality: it is cheaper than it looks, it rewards consistency over intensity, and the boring option is usually the one that works.

How I organize my whole week on one page
The photos barely do it justice, which is exactly why I keep a blog instead of just a camera roll. Context is the whole story; the picture is just the receipt.
