I tried doing reviews the boring way and it worked before coffee

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where cinema stopped feeling new.

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

I tried this in Madrid with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

The detail that surprised me was how much my desk changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.
