too busy to call

I've noticed I have not been calling my friends. I have noticed I am becoming dependent upon email to maintain friendships, because I can email at work....sort of...

Another one of the dark sides of work. You figure you can't make or received personal calls at work. So that's 9 hours of the day gone...Perhaps I'll have to do that more on lunch time?

Then weekends are a real squeeze to call everyone, friends and family, you did not call during the week along with doing all the stuff you want to do...

I want to start volunteering with the homeless...one more thing...

A great book, CrazyBusy, hits on this point. He identifies keeping connected to what is important to you. If you lose your connections, then you yourself are lost. Many of the books ideas ring true...
