And so when we're working from home, it's so easy to say, my gosh, I miss driving to the office, you know, and then you get to.

But then that happens and it's like, oh, I can't believe I have to leave my cats home.

And like, I miss everything about it.

That's just an important lesson for people to think about all the time is satisfaction is so elusive.

You're always chasing something and then you get it and then you want the next thing and you just you want what you don't have.

The grass is greener on the other side of the street.

I tend to think about that all the time because I'm like, do I really want this or do I just not have it?

And then it makes it's actually very clarifying for like, what do I want to spend my time on?

I would say sit down with a sheet of paper and audit your social life.

The things that I want someone to think about is how often have you socialized over the last three weeks?

You know, like put it on your calendar and look at it and decide, does your plant feel watered?

Have you reached your need?

And if not, you can try to adjust your cadence based on what you're seeing.

So if you feel underwatered, try to interact more.

Whereas if you're feeling overwatered and kind of socially drained, then maybe you can slow down.

The other concept I present in the book is social journaling, that you come home from an interaction and you answer a bunch of questions.

How long were you there?

How many people were there?

How busy was it?

What time was it?
