Office Hours

Incoming call on cell phone

I work multiple jobs and on nights I work my second job I decided to start holding office hours on my drive home.  I do not remember which productivity book or podcast gave me this idea but it has been a great addition to my commute.  So far I have just used office hours for my children but I would like to extend it to other relatives and friends. On the nights I work, just before leaving I send out a group text that I am having office hours and if anyone is free for a call I am available for the next hour.  As I know everyone is busy, this is a great way to connect.  Sometimes no one calls but sometimes they all do and we wind up having a great group talk.  I love being able to connect and the drive goes by so fast.  As I mentioned I would like to expand my office hour group so let me know and I can add you to my list when my second job starts up in the fall.  How do you make an effort to connect with family and friends when you don’t get to see them often?  Please let me know in the comments.

    What a great idea. When I would drive home from your house at night I would call my sister. Really makes the drive go by.
