Liz Danzico wrote a great little essay on two flaws in our culture:
- Saying things we don’t mean to be “polite” (“Let’s get together soon”)
- Agreeing to do something and then cancelling on the person
The post is concise and thoughtful — read the whole thing — and concludes with this:
4. Don’t cancel
Ever.Next time you’re tempted to cancel, do the opposite. See what happens if you show up instead. You might just change culture.
Try it.
