The phone doesn't have to be awkward
Bring Back the Phone
This week I emailed someone to set up an interview. Instead of a long back-and-forth about details and questions and timing, my phone buzzed. She called me without asking. We got straight to it. And my inbox is cleaner for it.
Instead of a 30-minute coffee meeting that translates into a three-hour excursion, I love asking people to call me. Yes, some people think it’s weird. No, I don’t care.
It's also much more fun to hear a friend’s good news over the phone instead of on Facebook. You got a promotion! You finally quit! You just saw John Slattery walking down the street! Call me!
We all want more time and more connection, yes? So we probably shouldn't ignore the very expensive tool that's sitting in our hands right now.
Oh, and if you want to share some news or have a question, I'm at 917-284-2431.

Enough said.
How do you write like tomorrow won’t arrive?
How do you write like you need it to survive?
How do you write ev’ry second you’re alive?
Ev’ry second you’re alive? Ev’ry second you’re alive?
I came late to Hamilton, but I've made up for it by listening to "Non-Stop" non-stop for hours and hours. Nothing will wake you up faster. The annotated lyrics on Genius are also well worth perusing.
Thank you for reading.
