10 out of 10 habits to be a disgustingly good storyteller, but they become increasingly more niche. Screenshot any text that made you feel something and drop into one album. This becomes your storytelling bank so you never run out of stuff to tell. Write down the name of everyone you meet and occasionally tell yourself their story. You're practicing turning a real person

into a story over and over so by the time that you sit down to tell one, you've done it already a hundred times. Take photos of specific little things, not just the wide shot. A specific design on a building, a crack on the sidewalk. You're training your eye to notice the small details,

and those small details are what make a story come to life. Give yourself a random word and tell yourself a story about it for one minute long every day. You get good at turning anything into a story on the spot so that you're never stuck. Flip your phone face down and listen to your video back.

Analyze your tone, rhythm, and inflection to see where you can improve. Then take the same video and now watch it on mute so that you can pay attention to your facial reactions and your body language.
