Do you ever leave the pub with mates saying, "We should do this more often!" and then do nothing about it?

Hello my friends!

I was with some mates last week, and a couple said this.

I genuinely believe they want to hang out regularly

But I know that I won't see them again until I instigate it.

This used to be me so I hear you. Life is busy.

But if you don't make those plans the only one who's going to be left out is you.

Who wants to be like Ashley Cole?!

So here's a few tips I've picked up on how to actually make these meetups happen.

Be the igniter: Take the lead. Be responsible for getting people together. And if you don't have time, maybe get off your phone for f*cking 20 minutes a day, and you'll have plenty. (More on that next week!)

Ideas aren't worth shit without action: If you're the one who comes up with all the brilliant plans but doesn't bother to activate them, don't bother. Pick one idea and put it into action.

Have the decency to reply to a message: If someone suggests something to you, at least have the decency to reply. Would you blank them face to face?

Of course not, so grow some balls and reply to the text.

Suggest other dates: I have to say this one pisses me off the most! Don't just say you can't make the suggested dates without offering alternatives.

The person has already instigated the plans, so don't be lazy, give them a hand to make the dates work.

Don't say yes if you don't want to: If you don't want to actually meet up with someone, don't ask them to meet up. Don't feel obligated—they'll be fine without you.

This email had been brewing for a while.

What do you think? What could you use today?

Do you have any rules that you would add?

Reply and let me know!

Have a cracking weekend,

Cheers,
