Take the time to appreciate a street performer

This may not apply if you live in a rural area, but if you regularly encounter buskers, magicians, jugglers, mimes, dancers, chalk artists or full-body paint-smeared human robots in public spaces it's likely you usually pass them with varying degrees of indifference. But many of them are very talented, not to mention hard-working and dedicated given the amount of effort and inconvenience it takes to ply their artistic trades out in the open. Take a few minutes to pay attention to one. If you're feeling flush, you could hand over some money. If you're feeling brazen, you could even applaud.


Effort involved: just a bit of your time.
