My favorite low-effort upgrade for trails for absolute beginners

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

I am cheering for this update. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

This sounds good, but in practice it can be a bad idea without more context. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error. Recovery is training too.
