A surprisingly useful lesson from a neighborhood park after 11 tries
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where learning stopped feeling new.
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 6 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it
