Steal Like an Artist is about taking what you like and leaving the rest. Make the Frameworks more meaningful for your relationship by customizing, personalizing, and gamifying them with your partner.
One of the first gifts we exchanged was a digital notebook to complement our love for writing. Although a cool gadget, it didn’t hold much value and was never used. We realized that even though the gift was a very thoughtful gesture it wasn’t intentional. What we were missing was why this was important.
Now, we Yes, And things that we love, then dig deeper to identify what is the specific value behind the idea. For example, we extended our love of board games by creating our own game – Ouropoly. The intention was to build a custom game we would love to play. In the game, we layered places and dates of importance. Each modification was a way for us to reflect on the parts of our life we are the proudest of, and make it more fun to play.
