Pick a product/ technology you’re familiar with and which has great documentation.
Go to their docs, and pick a page that is on a topic you know well.
Read only the title of the page.
Write the documentation.
When you’re done, compare your results with theirs. What headings did you choose vs theirs? Why do you think they chose the ones they did? How does your document flow vs theirs? How’d they illustrate the concepts vs you?
It’s an informative and fun exercise, at least to me.
