Before you commit

Juggling

  • Picking balls off the floor over and over would wear your patience thin.
  • Every new trick dropping you back to square one would frustrate you.
  • You want faster progress than slow, physical, drop-and-repeat practice gives.

Singing

  • Wincing at your own recorded voice would stop you before you started.
  • Slow, physical progress on breath and pitch would feel too intangible.
  • The vulnerability of being heard sounds like something to avoid, not embrace.
