Keep a curiosity list — and actually use it

Every day you wonder about things: how something works, why someone made a choice, what a word means. Most of those questions disappear within minutes. A curiosity list catches them.

The list

One note on your phone called "curious about". Whenever a question pops up, add one line. No research, no judgement — just the question. Examples:

• How do bridges in Amsterdam open?
• Why do some people learn languages so fast?
• What does a product manager actually do all day?

The weekly pick

Once a week, read the list and pick one question. Give it a 20-minute session: read, watch or ask someone. Write down the answer in two or three sentences next to the question.

The monthly share

Once a month, pick the most interesting answer and share it — in a conversation, a message, or at a meetup. Explaining it makes it yours, and other people's reactions often lead to the next question.

Why it helps

• It turns vague curiosity into small, finished explorations.
• It shows you, over time, what you are really interested in — often a surprise.
• It gives you better conversations: "I recently found out why…" beats small talk.

Start today

Create the note and add three questions you've wondered about this week. That's the whole setup.
