The thing nobody told me about reviews from my desk

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

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

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

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

This is genuinely helpful, thanks for writing it out. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.

This is the kind of disagreement I like.
