The most cozy part of learning highlights in real life

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 nba stopped feeling new.

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

I am skeptical. The idea sounds good, but the maintenance cost is real. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error. Consistency beats intensity here.

I disagree a bit. life matters, but the bigger issue is usually expectations. I am curious whether highlights still feels good next month.

This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. That is where the boring checklist helps.

Small caveat: context changes the answer a lot.

This is the kind of useful internet I still show up for. My friend tried it in Mumbai and had the opposite result.
