I want 5 minutes of your day. As I think about the content behind this resource for creative and innovative living, I realize my blog currently asks a lot from its readers. I’m verbose, and, as a consumer, I would not have the patience to regularly read DaveWrites.
Cool People Care is based on the idea of “5 minutes of caring,” giving readers suggestions on small things they can do in their busy lives to make a difference in the world. I’m not out to reproduce that or compete with it. My goal is more ambitious: to make the 5 minutes it takes to check out my site every morning be the thing you choose to do every day. I want to tell a story, highlight an idea, or challenge an assumption that leaves you thinking for the rest of the day or longer. The action is up to you and most of the time, you will simply read. But occasionally, I’ll help you think of something new.
To make this work the content needs to retain depth but be more focused. The categories I described yesterday should help narrow the scope. The focus can come from thinking of a little bit different structure than a blog–while the content/articles will remain principally stories/essays/opinion, they could be organized more effectively. I don’t see this as a resource compilation though–not just lists of tools, tests, etc., but more a collection of “inspirational” stories.
