Feel boring? Pick one or two interests, go deep 30 minutes a week, and answer "What's new?" with the interest instead of your job.
The idea
At my dinners I ask the table some version of "So what's interesting you lately?" Someone always shrinks an inch and says all they do is work and take care of their family. It's usually one of two fixable problems. Either you're interesting and not sharing it, because you undervalue your own interests. Or you really aren't that interesting right now, which I treat as a diet problem: an economy built to make you a consumer leaves you an inch deep on a thousand topics. Being interesting is cultivated, and cultivation starts with curation.
How to do it
Pick one or two interests. Kill the rest.
Block real time for it: 30 minutes a week going deep on one thing.
Next time someone asks "What's new?", answer with the interest instead of your job title.
Stuck? Ask yourself: What book would I gift the most? What strange YouTube hole have I gone down? With a free day and every need covered (no "catching up on sleep"), what would I do?
Example
A decade ago I felt so boring that I sat down with a notepad and pen (Uniball Signo RT1, all the time) and wrote out hobbies I could block time for. Today my problem is choosing only one thing to talk about.
Watch out for
You don't need to be a standup comedian or a quantum physicist. You need one genuine thread people can pull on.
The Bookshelf Test: Give people a foothold on you as a person by sharing what you're reading, in updates and conversation, and ask what they're reading.
Be Worth Knowing: Share your own take and what you're into; industry jargon makes you invisible, while personality and stories make you memorable.
Twelve Open Questions: Keep about a dozen open questions in your head, Feynman-style. Being interesting starts with being curious.
Be a Dot Collector: Collect varied experiences, people and projects now without knowing how they'll connect, then review the collection for surprising combinations.
