The best storyteller is the one who has the most beautiful. And so homework for life will let you collect those stories, find those stories. So what I do is I do 100 entries on a sheet and then I switch to a new sheet. That's why I love that spreadsheet because it forces me to capture it in literally maybe four sentences. Most of the time it'll fit in a single cell. We judge our entries as being meaningless when oftentimes they're not but we don't know it in the moment.

Matthew Dicks is an internationally bestselling author, columnist, blogger, podcaster, playwright, and teacher. A 53-time Moth StorySLAM champion and 7-time Moth GrandSLAM champion, Matthew teaches storytelling and public speaking to individuals, corporations, universities, entrepreneurs, religious institutions, and school districts worldwide.

We talked about why to tell stories, how to find stories, how to organize and develop stories in your Personal Knowledge Management system, how to make time for stories, and finally, how to tell better stories.
