Weekly Check-In
weekly · message · best for any friend you keep meaning to text
One real message a week. Not a like — a question.
Why it works
Most friendships don't end; they fade from skipped weeks. A weekly message with an actual question in it is the smallest habit that reliably stops the fade, and it takes under two minutes.
How to run it
- Pick a day. Sunday evening works for most people.
- Ask one specific question: "How did the interview go?" beats "How are you?"
- Reply to whatever they send within the day. The ritual is the exchange, not the send.
Add a friend, and BondLoops tracks the streak, nudges you when it's due, and keeps the shared journal.
