Hardcore · Two evenings, a week apart

What it costs

Not a scene. The way to find out what a thing takes before you do it.

How to do it

  • 01

    First evening: pick the one thing on your list that goes furthest. Write two lists — what has to go right for it to be good, and what has to go wrong for it to be bad. The second list is the one that matters.

  • 02

    The week in between: find out what the thing actually requires — from someone who knows, not from each other. A guide, a book, an experienced person. It is the one step that cannot be skipped.

  • 03

    Second evening: decide. Either a date and a plan, or a no that is not reopened. Both are a result.

Look after each other

Some things on that list do not become safe by being agreed. A no from one of you is enough, and it needs no reason.
