Making stuff with a friend on a Saturday beats waiting for a perfect project idea alone.

Waiting for the right idea is comfortable and produces nothing, because ideas mostly turn up during the making rather than before it. Working with someone adds a time, a place and another person’s expectation, which starts things far more reliably than inspiration does. What the two of you make will probably be slightly stupid. It will also exist, which is a category the perfect project never joins.

Text one person and name a specific Saturday rather than a vague sometime. Decide beforehand only what you will each bring, not what you will make. Finish something small the same day, even badly.
