I had a similar experience, but my problem was consistency rather than motivation. That is the kind of detail beginners miss

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. Naming things remains undefeated as the hardest problem

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. I would write it down before changing anything else

Can you share what you tried before this? I would love to see a follow-up after 8 weeks

I like this more then the top-level advice

This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. A little friction removed goes a long way

Anecdotally, this tracks with what I have seen. I am curious whether css still feels good next month
