ROAVVA · TRY THIS № 001 · SOLO EXPERIENCES

Most people postpone doing things they are genuinely curious about simply because nobody else is free this weekend.

We treat solitude like an unfortunate circumstance rather than a deliberate choice. But doing something by yourself does not require courage, and it certainly does not need to become an exercise in self-improvement or personal optimization.

You don't need a notebook, a podcast, or a productivity goal.

Your challenge this weekend: Spend 90 continuous minutes completely alone in a public space like a sunlit garden courtyard, an open museum gallery, or a quiet neighborhood walking trail.

Leave your laptop at home. Put your phone on 'Do Not Disturb'. Order whatever you feel like drinking or wander into whatever shop catches your eye. Notice how liberating it feels to make choices without having to negotiate with another person.
