The cozy joy of doing the recipe badly at first that actually stuck

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

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.

That is a good question for people with more experience than me. For me it came down to the practice run. I respect a strong opinion about pacing.

That sounds great until you add children/pets/deadlines.

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about stuck. The a family dinner detail changes the whole answer.
