Send a friend a short voice note

Record a friendly 30-second message instead of typing.

Why it helps

A voice carries warmth that text does not. Hearing you can feel more personal and takes the other person little effort.

How to do it

1. Pick a friend and think of one thing to say.
2. Record a short message about your day or a thought of them.
3. Send it and don't expect an immediate reply.

Make it easier

Keep it to ten seconds.

Make it harder

Send one to someone you have not spoken to for months.
