Two chords and a clean switch between them is a real day’s work. Songs get built out of days like that.

Real progress is small enough to look like nothing. Two chords and a clean change between them is a genuine piece of work, and also unimpressive to anyone watching, including you, which is why it rarely feels like a day well spent. Everything larger gets assembled out of days precisely like that one. There is no version where the small units get skipped.

Set today’s target low enough to actually finish: one change, one paragraph, one drill. Write down that you did it. Let a pile of ordinary days be the plan rather than something to get past.
