The gentle joy of doing the playlist badly at first after a tiny failure

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. albums got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 8 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

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