The part that resonates is that the boring version wins. Every shiny shortcut I tried quietly cost me more time than it saved. Have you found any shortcut that actually was worth it?
Counterpoint, said with respect: this works great until your situation changes. It carried me for a year, then I outgrew it and had to rebuild. Any sense of when someone should move past this approach?
This is the kind of post that should get pinned. The advice is everywhere but the honesty about how long it takes isn't. What's the part people quit right before it pays off?
This is the part I'd underline too. The consistency point sounds obvious until you're three weeks in and bored out of your mind. What kept you going past that?
I keep tripping on the second point specifically. I know exactly what to do, I just don't stay consistent past week two. How do you keep going once the novelty wears off and it's just work?
You nailed it. The shortcut version cost me more than the slow version ever did. Took me two tries to believe that.
This matches my experience almost exactly, with one wrinkle: it took me two failed attempts before it stuck. I think the failures were the actual lesson. Did you nail it first try or learn it the hard way?
