Your weekend plans don’t need a committee. If the only person who has to enjoy the hike is you, go hike.

Waiting for company can quietly cost you most of what you wanted to do. Coordinating is hard, and if every plan needs agreement from other people, the things you actually care about get filtered down to whatever was easiest to arrange. Going alone is not the fallback for a failed plan, it is a way to have the day.

Do one thing by yourself this week that you would normally postpone until somebody joined. Notice what it is like without the negotiation. Enjoying your own company is a practical skill as much as an emotional one.
