What is your default move when albums gets messy
a few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 4 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 10 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through

I picked Book, mostly becuase it feels easiest to live with. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing
