The work that builds mastery often stops being exciting long before it stops being useful. Chasing something new can pull you away from the repetition that was producing progress.

I break down why boredom belongs in the process, how distraction competes with meaningful work, and why consistency feels ordinary before its results become visible. Keep doing the fundamentals after the novelty wears off.

Show Notes:
