My favorite low-effort upgrade for artists in Madrid

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

The detail that surprised me was how much a trailhead changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the practice run for a while.

I tried this in Melbourne with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. My only addition is to make the first step visible.
