Summary

Welcome to Minisode Monday, where we kick off the week with something quick and actionable -- to make you more magnetic and effective -- that you can implement right away. This time around, we talk about an easy, everyday habit you can cultivate to renew contact with old acquaintances (lest they -- and you -- be forgot)! Let's get to it! The Cheat Sheet: Every single day, text one or two people with whom you haven't spoken in a while. If you use social media: As guest David Burkus recommended when he was on the show: use your newsfeed. Instead of merely "liking" something about which your old acquaintance is posting on social media, send a text or email. If you don't use social media, open your phone's text messaging app and scroll all the way down -- the people at the bottom are the ones you haven't spoken to in ages. Greet them with a sentence or two to let them know you're thinking of them, and make it clear a return response isn't required. Let us know how you put today's Minisode Monday into practice! Tweet with @TheArtofCharm in your response or write to Jordan directly: [email protected] (he actually reads everything)!

0:00.0	Hey, Jordan Harbinger here from the Art of Charm. Welcome to Minnesota, Monday.
0:03.7	You're a weekly shot of personal development espresso.
0:06.5	Happy to be here with you kicking off the week with something quick and of course,
0:09.8	actionable that you can put in the action right away. It's going to make you more magnetic.
0:13.5	It's going to make you more effective today. It's all me. I want to tell you how to re-engage
0:17.8	old contacts via text. This is simple, but most people don't do it. It's very easy as well.
0:23.5	It's just a matter of habit and getting into the flow. So this is something I literally do every
0:28.5	single day. This happens in the morning before I've done just about anything else.
0:32.4	I'm sitting here with my tea or my coffee or let's be honest, both and this takes less than five
0:37.2	minutes. This practice is one of the reasons my personal and professional network is so large
0:43.5	and so responsive and it takes very little effort. So if it sounds super simple and easy,
0:48.6	that's because it is. I expect you to do this right after you listen to this episode here today,
0:52.8	right now. So every single day, text one or two people you haven't spoken to in a while.
0:59.4	Make it something nice. You're not doing this just to make people love you. You're doing it
1:02.8	because you actually love people and there's a difference there. And I know you're thinking,
1:06.1	I'm giving you too much credit, but it's true. You do. So the trick is not just doing this once or twice.
1:10.6	Like right now and then tomorrow while this is fresh in your mind, this episode, the trick is
1:15.2	making this a consistent practice. Here are a couple ways to do that. One, use the news feed. We've
1:21.0	talked about this before. This comes from AOC guest David Berkis. If you're into social media,
1:26.3	you see a lot in your news feed too much actually. And you see people you barely remember or people
1:30.8	you know well, but seldom speak with you've clicked like. Maybe you made a comment on the post.
1:35.4	Instead of doing that, send them a text or email about the event that they are posting about.
