You need time with your long distance friends, but not as much time as you think.
After a trip to Chicago to say goodbye to my childhood house, I realized how even one meal with your long distance friends means so much. You need time with your long distance friends, but not as much time as you think. You don’t need full weekends away, though of course those are nice. You don’t need long retreats in fancy resorts or expensive rental houses.
Yes, it’s true that with extra time you can cover more ground, but it’s still worth making an effort to hangout in person even for one meal, one walk, or one excursion.
This sounds obvious, but so many people are waiting for the perfect time and life conditions to spend time with their long distance friends. Don’t wait. Even a little bit of time goes a long way.
In this short episode, I also celebrated three years of podcasting, announced two new behind-the-scenes team members and two new types of episodes that will appear regularly in the podcast feed.
