How to Ignore Everyone & Still Have Friends
- 1). Plan a time to devote your attention to your friends, whether that's a phone conversion or a face-to-face meet-up. Create a daily list of your priorities to determine what is most important.
- 2). Avoid social networking sites. Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites are distractions that easily eat up your time if you have your browser window open to the site. The chat feature on FaceBook or MySpace is an open invitation for friends to bother you while you're busy.
- 3). Turn off your phone, or screen calls. Just because you receive a phone call doesn't mean you have to answer it. If you answer the phone, tell your friend you're busy at the moment but you'll call her back as soon as you can.
- 4). Notify your friends of your upcoming schedule, and explain that it means you won't be available as much as usual. Give a time frame for the duration of your busy schedule, to reassure them that you care.
