Can we talk about the underrated side of silly that actually stuck
This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. jokes got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where jokes stopped feeling new.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 2 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

Love the tiny experiment energy. The gentle part is easy to underestimate.

Small caveat: context changes the answer a lot.

Great point, especially the part about underrated. For me it came down to the first draft.

I wish more posts had this much context. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about stuck. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the library. I needed this reminder today.

What happened after the first week? I am curious whether side stayed easy.
