Be more sociable

This week I’ve been making an effort to strike up brief conversations with people outside my immediate work team, especially people I don’t usually talk to. I’m sitting at a desk near the printer at the moment, so most people say hi anyway as they wait for their print jobs. It doesn’t take much effort to have a friendly 20-second chat about whatever. I’m not doing this with everyone because that would just be too distracting – I’m just aiming to do it a few times a day.

I’ve been doing okay on this goal, especially over the last week or so. I’ve made an effort to catch up with several people, and it’s been fun.
