What this actually looks like

  • Everything happens in ten minute pieces

    There is no such thing as an evening any more, only gaps between other things.

  • People stopped asking

    Your friends know you are busy, so they stopped reaching out, and now nobody is starting.

  • A year goes past without a decision

    It is not a choice, it is a fog. One day it lifts and it has been months.

What Ciao! does about it

The whole week fits in a kettle boil

Swipe, swipe, done. You can clear the deck while something else is happening.

Marco’s card in Ciao! just after a swipe right: a happy fox, You talked today, and buttons for WhatsApp, Message and Call.

Slow rhythms are a real setting

Once every couple of months is a legitimate answer, not a failure you are admitting to.

The New friend screen in Ciao!: Emma, an elephant, a birthday on March 18, Remind me to keep in touch switched on, and the choices from Every day to Once every couple of months, with Once a month ticked.

Pause anyone, guilt free

If this is not the season for somebody, pause them. Their creature settles and waits for you.
