Seeds don’t post progress updates. They’re busy underground doing the part nobody sees.

The invisible phase is the working phase, and that is exactly why people quit inside it. Nothing is happening above ground, nobody says well done, and the only evidence available is a patch of dirt that looks the same as yesterday. Roots do not photograph well.

Keep a private log rather than a public one while you are in that stretch. Two lines a day about what you did, dated, somewhere nobody else reads. Then you have your own evidence on the days when the surface is still refusing to show anything.
