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

You explained the tradeoff really clearly. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a tiny balcony.
