How was August for you? Are you ready to head into the fall?

I've read some great articles this month. Here they are:
  • An article on saying goodbye to online dating, and going back to the old-school way of meeting people in real life.
  • Making friends as an adult can be challenging. This article takes a look at what science has to say about it!
  • And for fun: A never-ending "to-do" list can be discouraging. How about writing a "Done!" list?
Article:
This Woman Quit Dating Apps and Decided to Meet Men IRL, and It Changed Everything
"The more comfortable I became talking to everyone, the more confidence I gained talking to men. I began living openly, boldly, and unapologetically."

Article:
How To Make Friends, According to Science
"A recent study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend, an additional 40 hours to become a “real” friend, and a total of 200 hours to become a close friend."

Article:
The New, Supremely Satisfying Way I End My Day.
"What helps me to keep on keepin' on is to truly give myself credit for the things I get done each day—both personally and professionally. And to that end, I've developed an auspicious habit: I write a to-do list in reverse at the end of the day."
