🕊️ [Project] Note version of the Pay It Forward Project is here! Let's pass the baton of kindness (as of 8/9)

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

To write this Pay It Forward tree, I read all the articles of the approximately 360 people I am connected to, and
I started to see trends in people who don't connect.

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

[Latest Version] The shock of a 39% participation rate. The Note version of Pay It Forward proves the "self-sustaining power of kindness"

Currently, the **"Pay It Forward Project"** is spreading widely throughout the town of Note. This initiative, launched by organizer LaLaLa with the goal of "passing the kindness received to three other people," has just set another astonishing record.

According to the latest tally, against thekindness of 236 peoplethat the project has reached, the number of creators who have actually written an article and passed the baton has reached92.

1. Approaching a "40% batting average." Astonishing action rate

Statistically, this figure of "92/236" carries significant weight.

• Latest participation rate: approximately 39.0% (92 people ÷ 236 people × 100)

Rising further from the previous calculation (approximately 36%), it has finally recorded an exceptionally "high batting average" for a voluntary project, with4 out of 10 people passing the baton. In social media campaigns, it is common for only a few percent of viewers to take action, but in this project, nearly ten times that proportion of people are taking the time and effort to write an "introduction article for someone else."

2. People overcoming the "3 major barriers" with love

Why is such a high batting average being maintained? Organizer LaLaLa analyzes that there are the following3 high wallsto posting this article.

• Psychological burden: The consideration for others in choosing three specific people to pass it to next.

• 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.

However, the 92 creators are overcoming these walls with "love." Furthermore, there is even enthusiasm to introduce far more than the "three people" required by the rules.Ginga Taro-san introduced 8 people,and Kurosaki Hayato-san introduced 10 people, and this "surplus of kindness," which seeks to spread ripples even for those who "could not connect," is what supports this 39% figure.

3. The miracle of 236 people's thoughts "recirculating"

The most beautiful episode born from this high participation rate is the fact that the baton returned (a second round) toKoyori-san, who served as the top batter, from a completely different route in just two weeks.

This "recirculation" happened because the energy of someone new connecting outweighed the probability of the baton being dropped. The existence of 92 "connectors" tells us that the project is no longer just a one-time event, but has become a **"self-sustaining culture"** of the town of Note.

In conclusion

The fact that "39% of people take action" means that the warm baton is surely reaching the remaining 60% behind them, lighting a fire in their hearts.

In the world of professional baseball, a .400 hitter is in the realm of legends. This project is currently spreading a chain of kindness with legendary momentum. From 92 people to 100, and beyond.

The baton has reached you; what words will you add to it as you pass it on to the next person?

Your "that's wonderful" reaches 3 people. Starting from one comment, a
circle of kind connections.

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

This project is like a support baton 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!

Once you receive a comment (baton) on this article of mine, or on someone else's article, you start.

② Read and comment on 3 other people's articles

Within note, read the articles of 3 other creators that you think are "wonderful" or that you "want to support," and leave a comment with your thoughts or 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 at the end, include the following [3 things] and post it.

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

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

• 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'm going to read the articles right now and post the template below in the comments. I don't know if those people will participate in Pay It Forward, but I'll give it a try.

I've created three patterns to quickly explain the purpose of the project so the recipient isn't surprised. Please choose and use the one you like.

Pattern 1: Standard (Recommended!)

Pattern 2: Short (Simple)

Pattern 3: Polite (When you want to convey it thoroughly)

I've created three easy-to-understand patterns so that readers can empathize and think, '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: I want to make friends with everyone (Focus on interaction)

Pattern 2: I want to make the note town kinder (Focus on support)

Pattern 3: Simple & Casual (Focus on fun)

If you insert this 'My Thoughts' section right after the 'Let's get started!' part of the rule explanation text, it will become a wonderful article that really conveys your enthusiasm.

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