Totally get this. I tried learning guitar last year and just kept trying full songs. My friend told me to just practice changing from a C chord to a G chord for ten minutes a day. It felt pointless, but after a week I could actually switch without pausing. That small win made me want to learn the next chord. Slowing down to nail the basics builds a real foundation you can actually use.

My old foreman made us write the actual room use in pencil right under the fancy name on every plan. Like "collaboration hub (just a conference room)". Saved so many callbacks.
