7 Good Minutes: Extra - Bring Someone Along: Keep a Relationship Going Without Finding Extra Time
Notes de l’épisode
There's a friend you keep meaning to call, or a parent, a sibling, or a partner you mostly talk logistics with. There's also a drive, an errand or a walk you already do every week.
This short practice puts the two together. Find one thing that already repeats in your week, pick one person who's been getting your leftovers, and attach them to it: a standing call on the drive home, a shared dog walk, a kid along on the grocery run, laundry folded together with the phones in another room.
It won't be a big reunion, and some weeks it'll get skipped. But a relationship that gets a little regular time tends to hold up better than one waiting for a free evening.
