What I'm up to...

In the spirit of https://nownownow.com/, I'm putting a list of the things I'm working on creatively. To be honest, I don't really know what I'm doing.

...this month

I've been inspired to create a personal website by the video from Ali Abdaal. It's inspired me to go ahead and try putting myself and my ideas out there as best I can.

Books

My most recent read is Anything You Want by Derek Sivers. It's a fascinating tale about how Derek accidentally made a sizable business just by doing what he thought was right.

Television

I recently developed a small obsession with a UK show called Taskmaster. The premise is that group of five comedians are given simple tasks to compete for glory and each other's belongings.

There are two things that have enamored me with the show: comedians and creativity. Comedians have a certain way of looking at the world. They're always paying attention, trying to find and exploit those little incongruencies in human thinking.

The creativity is something to behold. Every task seems to be best solved by looking at what's not disallowed and using what is available to the fullest extent.

Over the past one to two years, I have become really interested in public speaking. I have taken multiple classes and joined the executive board of a Toastmasters club.
