FIND INTENTIONAL TIME IN YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE
This is something I’ve really prioritized in my 20s especially living close by to the majority of my good friends. I never want to become the type of person who is ever “too busy” to make the time for a friend.
Most of my friends are traveling frequently on the weekends with our significant others especially as wedding season is in full swing. It can be hard to always find that time on a weekend so I’ve learned to really prioritize my friendships during the week. My friends and I will plan happy hours and wine nights during the week since our weekends are frequently packed.
I’ve also started finding time within my schedule to incorporate with friends. Getting my nails done on Thursday, who can come with me? Taking the dog to the park, a text to a few of my dog mom friends who wants to join. Working out in the morning, who can join me?
Look for ways your friends can join you in things you already have to do or get done. I’ve even had grocery store dates with my friends before. It doesn’t have to be long for it to have purpose and be meaningful.
