My 5-month experiment with playlists that actually stuck

this is probly obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. playlists got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

I started this because my first week felt a little stuck, and artists seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that teh smallest change was teh one I kept.

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Music feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time
