What I wish I knew before trying albums with an ambitious constraint

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

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.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

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

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. I keep a note about concerts for exactly this reason.
