RESILIENCE
The admired result and the boring process are the same thing separated by time, and only one of them is ever visible. Watching somebody good is pure pleasure, while the thousand dull repetitions that built them happened alone in a room with nobody watching. Wanting the outcome is universal. Tolerating the middle is where nearly everybody drops out.
Put the least interesting fundamental at the front of your session, while you still have patience for it. Ten minutes, every time, before the fun part. That placement is what makes it survive a month.
Which boring basics stand between you and sounding good?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
