There's this guy. I don't remember his name. But he is a storytelling competition winner many times over. And somebody interviewed him and asked how he comes up with such great stories. And his answer was, everyday you write down the most story-worthy thing that happened to you that day. The most interesting thing that happened to you.
The reason I want to do this is that I have a shockingly appalling memory. I just don't remember stuff. And when I meet up with my friends once a month or so and they say to me, how are you, what have you been up to? I don't usually know the answer to that question. But the practice of reflecting on the day, of couching narrative and reframing it as "interesting," and the act of writing it down, this practice cements stories in my head so that I have a better idea of what has happened to me, and I feel like a more interesting person, and I am able to make small talk and be entertaining.
