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.

There is a hidden assumption here that not everyone shares. The awkward constraint is probably the real story.

Surprised more people aren't choosing Live show. It seems like the practical answer. A little friction removed goes a long way.

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

The vibe here is immaculate. I am curious whether artists still feels good next month.

I picked Live show, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

Surprised more people aren't choosing Book. It seems like the practical answer. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

Live show got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. The social part surprised me too.

@bakerNomad78 That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

Book got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. The Toronto example makes it feel concrete.
