Do Interesting: Notice. Collect. Share. (Do Books Book 36)

For years I made my kids a book of photos every Christmas that documented where they’d been, what they were into, etc.

Create a ‘limited edition’ version of something you’re making. Give it a name. Finish it.

Create a social media account as a place for a project. Don’t share anything personal, use it as a place to share something you’re making. See how it feels.

Another way to make life easier when sharing is to think about the frame.

Is there something from your life, or your family’s life, some little piece of mundane history, that you could share like this? Do 10 entries.

Start a list. Capture a thing a week for 10 weeks. Write a blog post about them all.

You can make your own photobooks via various online services. Build a world like Anne does — super-condensed vibes.

I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and what it means. Joan Didion

Pick a project you’ve always meant to do — or you’re right in the middle of — but which you find too daunting. Put enormous constraints around it. Like only giving yourself 20 minutes. Do it now.
