How
Notice the spark: When you receive a favour (a ride, a fix, a quick pointer), say thank you, and mentally mark it as your trigger.
Pick a tiny, useful help: Within 48 hours, help a third person with something small - share a template, carry a bag, explain a step, hold a place in line, verify info in a group.
Close the loop, quietly: Do it without fanfare. If it feels right, add a gentle nudge: “Someone helped me yesterday - thought I’d pass it on.”
Easy Start
In the next 24–48 hours, do one micro-help (carry, clarify, connect) for someone - not the person who helped you.
Why It Matters
Questions and Thoughts
- “I’m short on time.” → Choose minute-sized helps (hold a door, share a link, give directions, quick translate).
- “Won’t this look performative?” → Keep it private and specific, no photos, no long speeches.
Care Notes
Ask before helping (“Would this help?”). Respect dignity and privacy (no personal data, no unsolicited advice). Stay within your skill - don’t handle medical/financial/legal matters unless qualified; point to credible resources instead. If a one-off help turns into ongoing support, agree clear boundaries together.
