Lesson 2: Effortless

573

20 Lessons From 2020


Texting is convenient. It's asynchronous. It's available. It's effortless.

My generation loves texting. Everybody has all these messaging apps, and they spend a lot of time on them. That's just how we roll. Our parents call; we text.

Texting is great in addition to normal conversation. But it cannot be a replacement. Maybe it can be the primary medium in work-related communication. But not in personal stuff.

It ruined a few things for me this year. It made a few relations so shallow, so effortless.

I want relations that require effort, require work.

Work that pays off.

Lesson two: less text, more talk.
