Which advice is actually useful
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 2 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. poetry 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.

Surprised more people aren't choosing Yes, definitely. It seems like the practical answer. The Monday morning version is even more interesting.

@urban_runner Small caveat: context changes the answer a lot.

I like this more than the top-level advice.

I agree with the goal and disagree with the method. The texture and mood are lovely.
