Telling stories got easier when I stopped treating it like an exam

I'm no expert at being funny, but things got easier when I stopped treating every story like a final exam. I've been writing down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I'd try differently.

How do you handle it when you're tired on a weekday, rather than having an ideal Sunday to work with?

Maybe, but the tradeoff seems bigger then the post suggests. The ambitious constraint is probably the real story

That's a nice way to frame it. Reminds me of a conversation near the library. Small progress still counts.
