The gentle joy of doing the practice run badly at first in Cape Town

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

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where reviews stopped feeling new.

I tried this in Toronto with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

Small caveat: context changes the answer a lot.
