#SOTD 100: A nudge for hand-washing (Indigo Airlines)
A note on #100! 🎉 🎊
Well what do you know?! That went by fast!
When I started the #SOTD series in early-February this year, I was sceptical whether I could keep up the pace of putting out one post every day. Barring a couple of weeks when I was on leave, I've surprised myself by managing to do that!
I'm glad I pushed myself and am super grateful for your constant encouragement and feedback!
Now I'm not in this for the numbers - the way I look at this, I'm building a learning resource on storytelling for the long term.
Having said that, #100 is a special milestone for me... and I want to use it to pause, hit refresh and recharge.
So I will be taking an indefinite break from the daily #SOTD now - think of it as the end of Season 1. :)
I will be reflecting on how to take this initiative forward going ahead... whether in a similar form or in a new avatar.
I look forward to coming back with a new Season sometime soon!
Meanwhile here's #SOTD 100: A cool note that I found, of all places, in an Indigo flight washroom!
A nudge to get you to wash your hands well
I was in an Indigo flight recently and came across this note in the washroom.
I loved it!
So, it starts off with a bit of contrast in the writing.
Then there's some whimsical, cute writing that was probably written by a whimsical, cute person! (And not by some corporate PR agent or an AI).
It speaks about imaginary friends and procrastination and parallel universes and rock-paper-scissors!
And then it ends with a neat line - making the audience realise that if they read this note while washing their hands, they have done their required 20 seconds!
And guess what - that line brought a smile to my face. Now that's not something that happens too often with messages written in an airline washroom.
Good storytelling can be used anywhere - from boardrooms to bathrooms! The next time you step into any space, keep your eyes peeled for such examples.
On that note, it's goodbye for now!
