Two ways people handle Digital Onboarding Week — and which one ages better after month three.
The honeymoon / tourist way
Chase the famous option. Spend Saturdays researching. Assume energy stays high. Often ends in changing SIMs silently.
It looks great in photos. It collapses on rainy Tuesdays.
The resident way

Write the lost-phone checklist while calm.
How to switch
- Admit what you optimized for (status vs sleep).
- Pick one default for the next thirty days.
- Tell one person so you stop renegotiating alone.
Save screenshots and chat records for anything involving money, housing, or legal status. Boredom is a strategy.
Copying someone else's routine from a different district and different job is how people waste their first quarter.
Pick the second unless you have a real reason not to.
Chengdu gets easier when routines stop feeling temporary.
