A surprisingly useful lesson from a tiny balcony for absolute beginners
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. cinema got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 9 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 8 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
