Notes from a very normal late summer with Music

> Tiny progress is still progress.

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

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

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

That last line is excellent. I would test it for 2 days before deciding. I respect a strong opinion about pacing.

This. Exactly this.

Good clarification — I read it differently at first.

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. I noticed the same thing in Kuala Lumpur.

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. I would write it down before changing anything else. Sound design deserves more credit.

Could be regional too.

Yep, the boring details matter.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 6 months. This is more useful on a tired quiet Sunday than on a perfect day.

This is the gentle version of my rant.

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. My only addition is to make the first step visible.
