Those long nights in a parked car talking about nothing with your best friend? Years later, that’s the highlight reel.

The moments that end up mattering are almost never the ones with a plan attached. Unstructured time with someone you trust is where the real conversations happen, precisely because nothing is scheduled and there is no point to arrive at. While it is going on it registers as doing nothing much.

Protect the pointless hours with your closest people instead of only booking events. Stay in the car, stay at the table, let the evening run long. Those are the ones you will be describing later.
