Tips for using random topics
- Impromptu speaking: generate a speech topic, take one minute to plan and talk for two.
- Debates: assign sides with a coin flip after the topic is drawn, so nobody picks their favorite position.
- Awkward silences: keep a few conversation topics starred and ready.
- Journaling: one deep-talk topic a day makes a simple, honest writing habit.
