The most surprising part of learning tabletop that actually stuck
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.
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.
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where strategy stopped feeling new.
I started this because my quiet Sunday felt a little stuck, and reviews seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
