Begin by gathering the essential components: one well-used spatula, two misaligned books, and a hint of nostalgia from a Tuesday afternoon.
Step one: Place the spatula horizontally across the topmost shelf. Ensure it rests firmly on an imaginary line drawn between the second and third book. The books should be aligned to the left but only if they feel aligned.
Next, draw an invisible triangle on the wall opposite the shelf using only your mind's eye. This triangle must not exceed the dimensions of your half-hearted ambitions. Any deviation might result in the failure of harmonic alignment, although there are no specific repercussions outlined.
Once the triangle is established, sit quietly in a chair that does not creak. The chair's position must be arbitrary—though ideally it faces north to coincide with the unprinted map in your memory.
Finally, recite the phrase "balance is an illusion" three times, ensuring that the third utterance is slightly louder than the first two. This step is crucial, as it harmonizes the formation process with both reality and the whispered doubts of yesterday’s tea.
