On Ideal Conditions.

A short but sharp guest piece today...

Our visiting author is none other than the legend himself—Clippy. 📎

Everyone's favourite Microsoft Word 2000 OG AI. Be warned: behind his friendly veneer lies a fighting spirit.

Ideal conditions do not and will not exist. Now is the best time to do anything.

Do it messy. Do it ugly. Do it imperfectly. Do it fast. Do it slow. Do it with incomplete knowledge. Do it when it might fail. Do it because it might fail. Do it full of mistakes. Do it cringey. Do it shaking with fear. Do it with your mouth dry and stomach tight. Do it with the voice in your head criticizing everything. Do it like an amateur. Do it with fierce passion. Do it 1 minute after waking up. Do it unmotivated. Do it under pressure. Do it in debt. Do it while juggling 2 jobs. Do it as a sacred offering. Do it with grace.

Whatever it is, whatever it takes.

Do. The. Thing—Now.

You'll be glad you did,
Clippy. ✨
