Pay first so you do not quit before the fun begins 🎟️

Easy to Quit

With new things, it is easy to quit before you find the fun. At first, you are bad at it, and it is boring.

Pay First

So paying for a class or tools first, so you cannot easily quit, is a good idea too.

What a Waste

The feeling "What a waste!" pushes you until it gets fun.

⚡ TRY IT
The "I want to quit" chart
A penguin starts the ukulele. Pick one, then go day by day.
😩 I want to quit
📅 Days: 0/10
Day 1 to day 10. Can the penguin reach the fun part?
Practice, practice… 🎶
💤 Day 3: the penguin quit. The fun was waiting on day 7…
⭐ Day 7: it got fun! "What a waste!" kept the penguin going.
Not Too Much

Of course, only an amount that is OK for you.
