Which advice is actually useful after a tiny failure
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Music feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.
I started this because my rainy evening felt a little stuck, and albums seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
