Hello all five of you beautiful people who read this trash week after week. (I appreciate you.)This week, we are still answering your questions, because it’s easier than coming up with our own topic and no one has told us to stop yet.
Anywho, without further ado, here is our first question this week:
Q1: "I'm bad at keeping in contact with people from my home town while I'm at school. I'm bad at keeping in contact with people from school while I'm home. I'm bad at keeping in contact with people in general. How do I improve?"
This is a great question, whoever you are, and it’s something I believe resonates with many people. Friendships are hard work, and maintaining connections takes effort. In fact, there is theory about how many people human beings can maintain meaningful relationships with - called Dunbar’s Number. Basically stated, human beings can only have about 150 or so friends before we run out of steam. The more you know.
But that wasn’t your question was it? You asked how to be better at keeping in contact with people, not how many people you can remain in contact with.
Personally, I think carrier pigeons are a fantastic way to keep in contact with people. Not only are they smart, but they are also adorable and don’t require a cell phone plan! They do require food however, so you will have to weigh that option. You could also use smoke signals, morse code, flags, yodeling, secret codes (look up numbers stations - creepy stuff) or you could just like, text people.
I’m just a dude writing a column no one reads, what do I know.
Q2: "How do I stop procrastinating? Every time I sit down and start to make a plan, I decide that I'll finish it later."
This is something I, myself, struggle with. I always find it hard to make myself sit down and finish projects, especially before the last possible moment. Luckily for you, I have some life changing advice on how to beat procrastination!
-note to self- don’t forget to finish this later.
