“The best way to complain is to make things.”
— James Murphy, LCD Soundsystem

Bored of the same playlist? Compose a new one. Dragging in the mornings? Whip up your strongest cup of barista-worthy coffee. Career plans hit an unexpected detour? Vent, journal, process it—that’s healthy—but then take that energy and start building plan B.
Complaints don’t fix much, but they can spark ideas. When you channel them into action, you’re not just moving past a problem—you’re creating value and new possibilities for yourself.
So the next time you feel like grumbling, ask: What can I make instead? Who knows—you might hack your to-do list, rethink the way you work, or create something awesome. Cheers to that win.
