some simple ideas for being human/relational

Found the list of suggested actions in this article very helpful:

Monday: Free attention give away (Open a door for someone)
Tuesday: Free attention give away (Just say HI to people you normally wouldn’t)
Wednesday: Ask a small talk question
Thursday: Count to three (after you ask a question of someone and before you say anything)
Friday: Talk to someone who you haven’t talked to in a while

guess the key is the KISS principal. Works for me.
