Lesson 3 of 6 · The ummah is not automatic, and isolation is not piety
The one sentence
Write it the way you would actually say it.
The move
Making one specific ask
10 minutes or less
- Pick one person you already know slightly.
- Ask for something specific and small and time bound. Not let us meet up sometime.
- Say the day and the thing. Are you free Thursday for a coffee after asr.
- Send it. Do not rewrite it more than once.
If it does not work
If they say no, that is one answer from one person on one Thursday and it is not information about whether people want you around. Ask somebody else within the week rather than waiting until it stops stinging.
Write the one sentence
A specific plan works better than a good intention. Fill both halves in your own words.
When
I will
Put it in your calendar
Pick a day and a time and you will get a calendar file to open. Nothing is sent anywhere.
