call people on the phone instead of using email for all communication

this is one of my most difficult goals. because, in addition to my own preference to writing over speaking, somehow the friends that i have seem to prefer to communicate over email too.

email is such a cop-out for me. it’s so easy to write email. but because i’ve been hiding behind email for so long, i’m out of practice: my social skills are getting worse and worse in real-time conversations. so tonight i called a couple of people instead of writing to them. hooray.
