My Secret to Success in Life and on Medium

Do what works but don’t sell your soul.

My biological clock is out of whack. During these strange days of isolation, it’s a good guess I’m not the only one.

Yesterday after another marathon session on Medium, I crashed out on the sofa for a power nap.

I wake up a couple hours later. Alone, I hear a voice inside my head.

“Just hold down the mouse button.”

I reply out loud, “Really, are you serious?”

We tromp back over to the notebook. Pull up a story to read and reach the end. Sure enough, I hold down the mouse on the clap icon, and it claps automatically for me until I let go. *slaps forehead* Boy do I feel silly.

You mean to tell me I was clicking like a baboon all this time? I hate myself.
