Episode notes
Trash Hole Origin Story
- Nadine describes inventing a game called "trash hole" where she tosses tied garbage bags from her landing into bins below.
- She used to make it consistently until a few misses shook her confidence and her fiancé banned the game.
Practice With Matched Weight And Reps
- Practice deliberately by matching the trash bag weight and shape with household items and rehearse throws daily.
- Start with consistent short reps and move the target progressively to rebuild aim and confidence.
Make It A Bet With Clear Stakes
- Turn the game into a bet with clear stakes and a signed contract so your fiancé has incentive and you get a goal to regain skill.
- Offer to clean up every miss and set rewards (e.g., massage) for successful runs to make practice purposeful.
