Hosts: Offer Water Before the Drink Menu Debate

Thirsty guests make worse decisions.

Hey — a note on Hosts, as if you were moving onto my street next month.

Water first, then tea/beer options; keep it simple.

Get a workable version first. Week-one optimization is how people buy the wrong package twice.

Design for tired Tuesday-you, not motivational Monday-you.

Three things that help

• A default you can repeat without a planning meeting
• Screenshots for anything with money attached
• One friend who stops you overcomplicating

Ordinary weather teaches faster than another ranking post — rain, heat, overtime, quiet weeks.

If it only works when you're energetic, it doesn't work.

Try one real version. Adjust with scars, not theories.
