Plan one hour of unrushed time with a close relative

Schedule a block of time with a family member to do something together.

Why it helps

Close relationships need time more than they need occasions. A planned hour makes sure it actually happens.

How to do it

1. Pick one relative or housemate.
2. Choose a time this week and an easy activity.
3. Protect the time from other tasks.

Make it easier

Plan thirty minutes.

Make it harder

Repeat it weekly.
