Limits aren’t the enemy of ideas. One mic and one hour forces choices a full studio never would.

Unlimited options postpone decisions, and decisions are what make work happen. One microphone and one hour removes almost every choice except the important ones, so you commit to a take instead of comparing twelve. Constraint also produces a voice, because it forces you into consistent compromises. A full studio makes everything possible and nothing urgent.

Set two hard limits for your next piece, one on time and one on tools. Refuse to break them even when a better option appears. Compare the result against something you made with no limits at all.
