You can’t see yourself improving day to day, the same way you can’t see your hair grow. Keep going.

Progress happens at a speed your own eyes cannot detect, which is why the middle of anything feels like standing still. You compare today to yesterday, find nothing, and decide it is not working. The measurement is wrong, not the effort. Change shows up across months, and by the time you notice it has already been happening for a long while without asking your permission.

Keep something you can look back at: a video from the first week, a page of early work, a time from an early run. Then leave it alone for two months before you check.
