The article was Excerpt: Being a social butterfly. This is where my curiosity came up: When I graduated college, I was completely unprepared for having to schedule time to hang out with friends. The first time one of my friends told me that she had to check her calendar to see when we might be able to grab lunch together, I laughed so hard I made myself cry. Oh, to have so few responsibilities that we could hang out whenever we want!

And it's because my schedule is so well organized that I can take sudden days off without caring.

I love your perspective on this - especially the intentionality behind both real, meaningful relationships and real rest. Looking forward to the book! Great suggestions.

I had 2-3 things I was invited to all one day. Instead, I decided to book a long R&R weekend with my mom to unwind. I think it's more important for me to have a weekend to myself to relax than attend a concert/shower/baptism. It's good to keep appointments, but don't overbook yourself. I've done it and I end up burnt out. Time to take it slow. I think is really important since the holidays are coming up and just looking at my calendar, I’m overwhelmed.

I recently started this with a small group of friends and it is so nice to get together once a week and catch up. I've built it into my weekly calendar and now look forward to it when the rest of my schedule is hectic. I love these suggestions, especially the one about a standing date with friends once a week.

A girlfriend called me up on the weekend and asked, 'what are you doing for lunch *today*?' It was so nice to go "old school" and take her up on a last minute offer. Just like old times.
