🕊️ [Project] note version Pay It Forward Project Launch! Let's pass the baton of kindness: History

I am LaLaLa, currently in the trial-and-error phase.

To write the Pay It Forward tree, I read all the articles of the approximately 372 people I am connected to, and I began to see trends in those who do not pass it on.
1. Creators writing serialized novels

2. Creators with long intervals between posts
3. Creators who write many articles venting their own feelings

[Latest count: 124 people] The self-sustaining power of kindness never stops! The 'preciousness' of passing the baton and a new form of 'paying it forward'

🌸 The warm scenery created by 124 connectors as of now (8/10), reaching 369 people

The "Pay It Forward Project" spreading through the streets of note. In the latest count, the number of creators who have passed the baton has finally reached124.

If these 124 people pass the baton to 3 people each as per the rules, a total of369creators will receive warm words of support from someone. One person's action creates three smiles, and that multiplies 124 times. This number is the best proof that the "self-sustaining power of kindness" has taken root in the city of note.

✨ The preciousness of "writing about someone" which is more important than the "connection rate"

The current "connection rate (participation rate)" of the project is about 33.3%. While this is an exceptionally "high hit rate" for a project on social media, on the other hand,there is also the reality that about 66.6% of those who received the baton stopped it without writing the next article..

However, the organizer, LaLaLa, thinks this way. "While it is important for the baton to be passed, even more than that, the very fact that you read someone's article and wrote an introductory article with your thoughts in it is more precious than anything else.".

🕊 The preciousness of writing an article and introducing someone

To pass the baton, you need to overcome three majorbarriers (psychological burden, disruption of posting cycle, and physical effort).

• The time spent thinking about and worrying about "who should I introduce?"

• The work of carefully reading the other person's article and putting its charm into words.

• The effort of taking the time to write an article and leave a record of the pure feeling that "this is wonderful."

These are all "surplus love" used for someone other than yourself. Even if the baton stops there (even if the non-connection rate was 66%), the fact that you read that person's article and introduced themdefinitely lights a warm flame in the heart of the person introduced.

Beyond the result of "whether it connects or not," your very action of "wanting to support" is the energy that makes the city of note kinder. Because you read the articles of the people you introduced here, your personality is understood and new friends are increasing. It is an opportunity for many more people than the three you gifted to get to know you.

🔥 [New Rule] "Spontaneous restart" to keep the baton from breaking!

If you feel disappointed because, "I passed the baton, but it stopped due to the other person's circumstances..." there is no need to be. Therefore, we are introducing a new rule to ensure the baton keeps moving.

[New Rule: Spontaneous Baton] To all creators whose baton of 3 people didn't get passed on, why not spontaneously pass the baton to 3 different people this time? By your own will, pass the "favor" you received on to someone else once more. Such "spontaneous participation" will help grow this project into an even stronger tree.

And to those whose baton stopped due to the circumstances of the person they happened to pass it to (such as being busy or in the middle of a series), LaLaLa sends you a baton again with love! 💕💕💕 Please don't feel bad about "not being able to pass it on," and come back to this circle of kindness as many times as you like.

📝 Participation Rules (Simple & Flexible!)

1. Receive the baton: Start once you receive a comment!

2. Introduce 3 articles: Read the articles of creators you think are "wonderful," leave a supportive comment, and introduce them in your own article.

3. Pass it on spontaneously: If you feel the baton has stopped, you are more than welcome to spontaneously pass it to 3 new people.

🌟 In Conclusion

372 acts of kindness released by 124 baton passers. The joy of the baton being passed, and the preciousness of writing an article with someone in mind—all of this is the treasure of this project.

Your action of "reading someone's article and conveying its charm" is, in itself, a beautiful and complete act of paying it forward. Now, won't you be the next one to deliver this warm baton to someone?

2. People who break through the "3 major barriers" with love

Why is such a high success rate maintained? The organizer, LaLaLa, analyzes that there are the following 3 high walls to posting this article.

• Psychological burden: Consideration for the other person when choosing 3 people to pass it to by name.

• Disruption of posting cycle: Resistance to breaking one's own series or rhythm.

• Physical effort: The labor of reading the other person's article, writing an introduction, and setting it up.

Your "this is wonderful" reaches 3 people. Starting from one person's comment, a
circle of gentle connections.

New rule

A project to keep the baton moving

To creators whose baton of 3 people didn't get passed on,
why not spontaneously pass the baton to 3 different people this time?
Passing on the favor you received. (Spontaneous participation)
I will send you a baton!
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

To all the creators I couldn't connect with due to the circumstances of the creators I happened to gift, I am sending this baton with love from LaLaLa💕

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

I am starting the Pay It Forward Project to expand the circle of "kindness" and "support" within note!

This project is a support baton, like a game, where you pass on the joy you received to three other people.

📝 The rules for participation are very simple!

① Start when you receive a comment!

It starts when you receive a comment (baton) on this article of mine, or on someone else's article.

② Read and comment on the articles of 3 other people

Read the articles of 3 other creators on note that you think are "wonderful" or "want to support," and leave a comment with your thoughts or words of encouragement.

③ Introduce them in your own article and pass the baton

Once you have finished leaving your comments, write one note article of your own, and be sure to include the following [3 things] at the end before posting.

• "Names of the 3 creators you commented on (or links to their articles)"

• "A request message for the next person who receives the comment"

• Hashtag #PayItForwardProject

💡 Template to paste at the end of your article

When writing your own article, please copy the text below and paste it at the very bottom!

May many wonderful encounters and warm comments spread throughout note. I look forward to everyone's participation!

I will start reading articles now and paste the template below to leave comments. I don't know if those people will participate in Pay It Forward, but I will give it a try.

To ensure the recipient isn't surprised, I have created 3 patterns to briefly explain the purpose of the project. Please choose and use the one you like.

Pattern 1: Standard (Recommended!)
I am participating in a project on note called the "Pass the Baton of Kindness (Pay It Forward Project)," and I wanted to leave a comment on this article that I love.
If you are willing, I would be happy if you could pass this baton on to three other people! Please check out my latest article for details.

Pattern 2: Short (Simple)
I am currently participating in the "Pay It Forward Project" on note, which aims to spread a circle of support. I took the liberty of passing the baton (comment) to this wonderful article!
Details such as the rules are written in my article, so please feel free to check it out.

Pattern 3: Polite (When you want to convey your thoughts thoroughly)
I always enjoy reading your wonderful posts!
There is a project on note called the "Pay It Forward Project" that connects support, and I wanted to support you, so I am leaving this comment.
The rules of the project and how to pass it on to the next person are summarized in my article. I would be happy if you could take a look when you have time.

I have created three easy-to-understand patterns so that readers can feel, "That's wonderful, I want to participate too." Please choose the one that best matches your feelings and feel free to arrange it.

Pattern 1: Wanting to make friends with everyone (Focus on interaction)
There are many wonderful articles on note, but often I just read them and move on.
However, just saying "That was great!" makes the writer incredibly happy, doesn't it?
I started this project because I wanted to create a "warm place" on note where everyone can more easily praise each other and meet new, wonderful creators!

Pattern 2: Wanting to make the note community kinder (Focus on support)
Kind words or happy moments received from someone stay in your heart forever, don't they?
I thought that if we could pass those "happy feelings" on to someone else like a gift instead of keeping them to ourselves, the note community might become a kinder place.
I want to enjoy the excitement of one small comment spreading to 3, 9, and 27 people together with everyone!

Pattern 3: Simple & Casual (Focus on fun)
I love the "Pay It Forward" mechanism of passing on kindness received to someone else, and I wanted to try it on note, which I love!
I would be happy if we could all have fun passing the baton with the feeling of "I like this article!" without overthinking it. Please try to find your favorite articles as if you were treasure hunting!

If you insert these "my thoughts" right after the "Let's begin!" section of the rule explanation text, it will become a wonderful article that conveys your enthusiasm.

Since these are just template rules, you are welcome to develop your own unique Pay It Forward project.
It doesn't have to be three people; it could be 10, or you could become the initiator and do three people every day! 🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆

Note Version Pay It Forward Project History

🕊️ [Project] Note Version Pay It Forward Project Launch! Let's Pass the Baton of Kindness is a project I first launched on 6/19/2026.

It didn't spread with just my own efforts.
When I posted this article as a project,Koyori | Manager of the Forest of Livingleft this comment, and it started to spread from there.

Koyori | Manager of the Forest of Living・1 month ago

LaLaLa-san🖋️ Hello ^^ The concept of "Pay It Forward" is a way of life that I personally hold very dear, so when I found this project, I wanted to participate. I have an article I wrote about paying it forward, but this time I would be happy if I could connect through a story that conveys the atmosphere of the "Forest of Living" that I write about. Thank you. 🌳

https://note.com/koyorimade/n/n5ebc53806f56

The pebble thrown by another person, Shizuku Amano, connected well and the branches kept growing.
Thanks to Koyori-san creating the Pay It Forward tree, the connections were visualized, and I think more people became conscious of the connections within note, didn't they?

Koyori | The manager of the Forest of Living is holding this kind of project.
This is a project that not only passes on the baton you received, but also visualizes how your own baton connects.

As the new rule, I, LaLaLa, introduced everyone's articles here and passed the baton to everyone again. To the 124 people I have passed it to so far, please try passing the baton to 3 other people 🫸🫷

Now, what will happen?
If these 124 people pass the baton to 3 people each as per the rules, it will reach a total of 369 creators.
At once, it becomes 738. If you pass the baton to 6 people each, it becomes 1107 and will suddenly exceed the goal of 10,000 people. (Law of compound interest)
Your article will be exposed to the eyes of 10,000 people.
This is not a timeline, so your article will not be washed away by the waves of an algorithm.
It is a circle of goodwill where many people are connected.
Reading the comments I received, people are happy to receive thank-you comments from those they sent it to, this has become an opportunity to deepen interactions, and interactions are being born between people gathered here who had no prior contact.
It is truly becoming the world I, LaLaLa, envisioned when I launched this project. Someone passed the baton to me the other day. I was so happy that it finally came back.KITAcore | Kitacore @ Log Player thank you.

The beginning was with me, LaLaLa, but why don't you grow the branches as your own project?
