5 things to steal
Taken from Katherine Jennings (who adapted it from Austin-Kleon), this is a method of making notes on things you experience. You find things you admire, then try to imagine how you can adapt or transform them.
It’s partly a way to [[ Copy-to-Understand-the-Rules ]] and partly a way to [[ Transform-Existing-Work ]] to your own ends.
Five is a good number as it stretches you to think beyond the obvious.
