I love basing my friendships around things I like to do, and having an allocated person to do that with, also having a process / routine that this thing happens around. Like a tiny religious procession of two.
E.g. : one friend is my coffee and a walk friend, another is a person I only exclusively hang out with to eat tacos once a month, a third friend to only go to cinema screenings with, another friend will join me for exercise classes and we usually get dinner afterwards.
I like this approach to friendship in general because it’s less pressure to have to come up with new things to do, and if you stagger time well then you always have things to do and people to see.

It is something so lovely to look forward to, And such a nice way to mentally mark time - Saturday mornings are for dnd with one friend group, Monday nights are for study group with another,,,, I find it so hard to be consistant with my friends but it feels so good

Tired of running into your best friend at game nights and birthday parties of your mutual friends only to be reminded that you don't make enough time to see each other one-on-one? Invest in a high maintenance ritualized activity together that you MUST do regularly -- for me and my best friend this consists of biweekly gel manicure fills followed by a trip to our favorite diner. Even if we let the gels grow out embarrassingly long, we know we have to go back to fix them one way or the other so this helps motivate us to clear our mutually busy schedules. We're so full after the diner that whatever tasks we would have attempted to complete that day are relegated to some abstract future weekend as we are forced to go back to one of our apartments and digest together. Plus the manicures help us with our BFRB symptoms that focus on our nails and cuticles. :')
Note: If you know of equally high maintenance but less expensive rituals that have a similar sense of time-sensitivity we are all ears.

I love meeting people and then making an effort to become one on one friends with them. Some of my best friends I’ve made in adulthood have been chance encounters where I decided i needed to learn more about that person and consequently sought them out. These have blossomed into very fulfilling and creatively inspiring friendships. I don’t tend to work very well in friendship groups so this is the model that I have found works for me.

If I had one critique I would say that it is a little too neat and too legible. I need to let loose a bit

It can be so difficult to do this and sometimes you really have to force yourself but getting direct light exposure for just 10 min in the morning right when you wake up is crazy good for your mood !! This was recommended to me by my doctor and I swear by it
