This really is a great tip, and one should always try to learn from ALL situations, not only the ones that seem most logical at first.

I think the best way to promote is by commenting on others blog. Beside the promotion, we can also build a nice relation with other blogger and I think it really helpful :)

I live in the middle of Manhattan where there is no such a thing as a mall! Every day is people-watching for those of us who live here, and as I am in the theatre industry, it is what we do for a living. So this may be the only assignment of the 31 days that I won’t be doing as prescribed.

This 31Days project is absolutely spectacular – thank you, Darren!

I think just getting out and about in general is good to get the creative juices flowing. I’ve gotten my best ideas from people watching and overheard conversations standing in line at the grocery store. This is a great exercise!

This is a fantastic idea. I am a people watcher, especially when I’m in the mall. I’ll let you know what happens when I visit the mall on Saturday.

Well, I finally made it to the mall this weekend – however I was on a mission to pick up some things. But, I am very much a people watcher, and I did my fare share of time in retail – so it was interesting so watch interpersonal relationships in action at the mall – Which couples were happy? Which weren’t? The families that were at the mall on a sunny Sunday morning? And then noticing the people who are truly into retail and customer service, and those who are just doing it for a paycheck. Customer service is definitely something you either have or you don’t. Clearly, the guy who ran in the back and hid when I started to walk over to place and order in the food court was NOT all about customer service. ;)

Not necessarily related to the challenge, but definitely food for thought. And inspiration for a possible future blog post!

lovely to spent some time away from the computer. I live in the middle of the countryside, so no malls for miles around. However, a walk in nature is enough to recharge the batteries and get the creativity flowing once again :)

A change of scenery and habit is great for supercharging the passion to write.

I basically look at magazines as well. Use youself as your own specimen, and when something really catches your eye enough for you to want to get pulled in to the article or whatever it may be, simply put a check mark on it with your sharpie. Do this for a couple of pages, but the most important is the magazine cover, and the index. Those two pages is where you should test your own psyche.

This exercise distracted me. I got caught up in all the shopping. I’ll need to go back.

Darren just told me to do something that a girl loves the most and some were even born to do this: Going to the mall aka shopping :) !!

I did it yesterday but ended up with buying groceries (my fav!)… At least he gives me a very different task this time. And I do need to go out and leave my laptop for a while.

Terima kasih,Darren!

This is my favorite assignment so far just because I think the power of observation is so important.

I heard someone once say that great artists notice things that other don’t. I think it can be said of anyone who succeeds in their chosen field.

Great sales people notice body language that average sales people miss. Great bloggers perhaps notice the trends that average bloggers miss.
