Walk-and-Talks: Phones in Pockets Unless Navigating

Half-present walks feel like errands.

Straight answers about Walk-and-Talks — for people who already do laundry here.

Urgent in month one?

If it touches money, sleep, legal status, or daily friction — yes. Optimization can wait.

The useful detail

Pocket the phone; use it only for maps or photos you asked to take.

Fastest decent move?

Pick a default near home, test on a weekday, stop researching for thirty days unless something breaks.

What newcomers mess up?

Copying another district's routine. Also: turning every choice into a personality project.

How do I know it's enough?

You stop reopening ten tabs every Sunday. Boring decisions are healthy.

Protect your Tuesday-night self — that's who lives with the plan.
