Here is an excerpt from a blog post I wrote on the 23rd about this...

To “see” niches you need to be hyper-aware of your surroundings. On Niche Day you are going to be a giant sponge absorbing everything that is around you, from the mundane to the out-of-the-ordinary. Let’s look at a few entries from my Niche Day yesterday

Hour 1

Mmmm warm doona

Shower - need hot water

Need breakfast, hungry

Get ready for Work

And so it goes on…very basic yeah?

Now break down the activities into items that you are using

doona, duvet, sheets, pillows, wardrobe, carpet, dressing gown, slippers, pyjamas, nightie, chest of drawers

hot water heater, towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, exfoliate, shower head, tiles, steam, soap scum

breakfast foods, diet, carbohydrates, balanced diet, fruit, coffee, tea, milk

hairstyle, hair dryer, makeup, jewellry, corporate clothing, work shoes, dry cleaning, laptop bag, cell phone…..

And it goes on. A whole lot of things that your eyes normally travel over, but don’t really notice .


Easy hey? Give it a go
