A surprisingly useful lesson from a coworking table after a tiny failure
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where physics stopped feeling new.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 3 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
