The most delightful part of learning pickup from my quiet Sunday notes

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

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 4 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

I am skeptical. The idea sounds good, but the maintenance cost is real.

The vibe here is immaculate. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error. Recovery is training too.

Big fan of this approach. It sounds small, but the routine matters.

Big fan of this approach. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a tiny balcony. Recovery is training too.
