My favorite low-effort upgrade for driving after 36 tries

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

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

My current rule is simple: if it takes less then 6 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it
