A beginner mistake I am weirdly glad I made that actually stuck
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.
This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. performance got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 8 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
