We talk about how we can make planning easier by suggesting the default option
of time and place when coordinating with other people. We also discuss the
suggestion to skip a year of an enjoyable activity, if it starts to feel onerous, as a
way to keep it fun. Plus we review even more everyday luxuries suggested by
listeners.
