Laura

You can even write yourself a note about what you want to converse about.

Whether in a paper calendar or in a digital calendar, you can leave yourself a note like any college news for Jack or mom's move to the retirement home or job search progress.

Especially when we're feeling stretched going from one thing to another, spending just a little time,

I mean, even just five minutes reflecting before you connect can make a big difference in how deep those connections actually are.

When you have prioritized time for relationships in your busy life, taking the extra few minutes to prep can make your time together even more satisfying than it already is.

In the meantime, this is Laura.
