How To Be Interesting

A person by the name of Russell Davies holds an annual conference simply titled- Interesting. So all subjects under the sun, that are interesting are discussed by expert speakers. I heard the same is a runaway success (why wouldn't it be. It has got a Interesting and Catchy name!!!!)

I have never met him but i regularly and religiously follow his blog. In his blog he has given a few tips on How To Be An Interesting Person, which i will share with you below-

1. Take at least one picture everyday. Post it to flickr- This he says makes us notice things and share our experiences with people

2. Start a blog. Write at least one sentence every week.

3. Keep a scrapbook

4. Every week, read a magazine you’ve never read before

5. Once a month interview someone for 20 minutes, work out how to make them interesting. Podcast it.

6. Collect Something

7. Once a week sit in a coffee-shop or cafe for an hour and listen to other people’s conversations. Take notes. Blog about it. (Do this very very Carefully!!!)

8.Every month write 50 words about one piece of visual art, one piece of writing, one piece of music and one piece of film or TV. Do other art forms if you can. Blog about it.

9. Make/Create something

10. Read

I am totally impressed by his thoughts and no doubt I will try & follow a few, if not all his principles...
