Enjoy the hobby without turning every improvement into an assignment.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

The thing you took up for pleasure has a way of acquiring targets. You start measuring, comparing, setting a level to reach by spring, and the hour that used to restore you begins producing a small verdict instead. Improvement will happen anyway from doing the thing often; it does not need a curriculum to arrive.

Spend one session this week with no goal at all. Play the easy piece, walk the familiar route, make the thing you already know how to make, and let being unmeasured be the point of it.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

What pastime have you turned into another thing to master?
