Ep. 496: Make the Most of the First 3 Weeks, Use an Alarm & Cope with Exploitation of Obligers
We discuss research suggesting that during the first three weeks with strangers in
a new environment (such as a cruise or college), we have a special window for
making friends. We also talk about why setting an alarm can alleviate restlessness
and anxiety, and we address a question from an Obliger about how to deal with
the fact that members of her family don’t do their share.
