Hi,
as today is a public holiday in Munich, I will not do anything for the job. Start shifting to my priorities.
This morning I did some urgent and relevant task for my exit from the hamster race. In the breaks, as I do set breaks between tasks, I went out on the balcony to get some fresh air. My private cell rang and it was a friend whom I did not talk in ages. This made my day, as I was happy to speak to him.
I had this idea to start calling or texting some of the people that influenced my life in a good way. I called also a friend who helped me a lot long time ago when I also needed. He was surprised and happy that I did it. We chatted for 30 minutes and he told me that he needs help with some task, which will benefit both. It was a 5 minute deal for me as I had to call another friend to ask for it.
3-4 years ago, I had this habit to contact and call 5 people from my contacts every day, if possible different ones. It was a blast. I don't know why I let this habit go and why I forgot about it.
My deal is to restart it and do it as a daily habit. Now in quarantine is perfect as people tend to have more time and respond better to calls and to social contacts. It might tight relationships and open opportunities. I see opportunities coming from networking and communication.
Ok, also chose the people you contact, try to contact 3 that have a better situation than you have so that you grow to them, 1 on the same level to not lose track of reality and 1 that is going to difficult times and need your help. This worked for me the best till now.
So, now pick up the phone and call/text someone that you did not speak in ages.
