Do Interesting Stuff

Interesting here means interesting to you.

How to find what interests you:

• What pulls your attention?
• What do you obsess about?
• What makes you think, “I wonder if X is possible?”

Then, complete a challenge related to what interests you.

Document

Capture yourself doing said interesting stuff via your favorite media i.e. video or writing.

Storytell

Whittle down what you’ve documented into a coherent story.

A story, very simply defined, is a scenario where you start as person A then an event happens and as a result you become person B. Story is the process of change in some way large or small.

The storytelling phase is about cutting out the fluff and tangents to make what you’ve documented interesting.

Ideate and Iterate

Based on the public reaction to the story, come up with ideas on what to do next and how to improve on the storytelling aspect.
