You checked the weather app before you checked the window. Sometimes the answer is right in front of you.

Secondhand information feels more official than your own eyes, so you reach for the screen even when the thing itself is two metres away. It is a small habit with a large version: asking five people what to think before noticing you already know, or researching for an hour something you could test in ten minutes.

Catch one of these this week and go direct. Look outside, taste it, walk over and ask, try it once. First hand costs less time than you expect and carries details no summary would have given you.
