That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where editing stopped feeling new.
This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. portraits got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.
Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the routine for a while.
