The most surprising part of learning illustration from a tiny balcony

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

This is the kind of useful internet I still show up for. The social part surprised me too.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 7 months. I would test it for 4 days before deciding. The texture and mood are lovely.

@jp_river You just saved me a bad purchase.

Love the tiny experiment energy. It sounds small, but the playlist matters.

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option. This is more useful on a tired Monday morning than on a perfect day.

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. I learned that one the expensive way.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. The Mumbai example makes it feel concrete.

Yep, the boring details matter.
