Turn a familiar public transport ride into a small noticing exercise without needing to photograph people or stare at a screen. Gather a pocket notebook, a pencil, and a seat where writing is comfortable.
Set it up
Write three prompts before the journey, such as an unexpected color, a repeated shape, and a detail near a familiar stop.
Put the idea to work
Notice examples while seated and jot a few words when it is comfortable, keeping your belongings clear of other passengers.
Finish and keep it useful
Review the notes after leaving the vehicle and choose one detail you would like to look at again on another day. Avoid writing while standing in a moving vehicle or letting the exercise distract you from your stop.
What repeated shape or unexpected color might you notice on a familiar ride?
