Lesson 5 of 6 · The small things, and the in-laws
The one sentence
One turn toward, on an ordinary day. Not a conversation about bids.
The move
One overture a day
5 minutes or less
- Notice one small thing they say or do that invites a response.
- Answer it. Look up, reply, ask the follow up question.
- Once a day, deliberately, for two weeks.
- This is the thing the research actually found, and it is much smaller than people expect.
If it does not work
If you cannot find one on a given day, that is worth knowing rather than a reason to give up. Make one instead, and see what comes back.
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.
