Be intentional

Your career is probably busy enough, and without an intentional plan to maintain your friendships, they will likely grow old and fade into non-existence.

A simple way to preserve close friendships is by keeping them on a schedule.

• Regularly and consistently call your friends rather than occasionally liking their pictures on Facebook.
• Make plans with your friends to go somewhere at least once a month.
• If the distance is a problem, video calls can help to create lasting experiences.
