Which advice is actually useful
This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. support got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
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.
