Ways It’s Okay To Be Selfish With Your Time
Talking is for hanging out
I am extremely busy and don’t have time to be involved in some ongoing, directionless, frivolous text chat—or to take an hour-long frivolous phone call—during the day. There are friends who try to text me about…nothing. The weather. A cute dog they saw. Their period cramps. I just go ahead and let those texts pile up, and then say, “Sorry, busy day! We should get together soon and really catch up!” In other words, you will have my time when we make real time for each other. Not at any point that you feel like texting me about your new shoes.
