i make one at least once a day, grocery, people i like, clothes i want not need, pastries i like, good coffee shops, etc. (this is a list too! wow! look how easy)
not just to do’s, but those too! i keep running lists of things. Like, “things my bestie somehow doesn’t know about“ and “things i like about my partner“ and “this would make a good gift“
i always come back to my lists, and i am always delighted by what i find
if you have to talk to strangers who give you little back on a regular basis, i’ve found having a list of things i like and things i don’t like has been helpful in several ways!
i can either check the lists for a new thing ive added to remind myself for something to say, or ask them if they have their own lists, and what’s on them.
most of the time people will say they don’t have one, so this gives you lots of conversation while you workshop what they would put on those lists and they elaborate on why.
here are my lists if this interests you
Get all your friends together and just take pictures, dress up or make a photo booth ass setup. it’s fun to play supermodel or magazine photographer for a night. no one will ever know you arent the real deal, also, no one cares!
