Day 7: You don’t need more tips. You need this one thing.
You made it. Seven small moves. One big shift.
You showed up. You followed through. You built momentum. Without burnout or awkward catch-ups.
Here’s the real twist: This wasn’t a challenge. It was a reframe. And now it’s your default.
🏀 Today’s Final Move: Pick one habit you want to keep and LOCK.IT.IN.
Say it out loud. Write it down. Text it to a friend. DM it to me. Just claim it.
Here are a few to steal:
“Every Friday, I’m texting someone I haven’t talked to in a while.”
“Once a week, I’m sending a ‘this made me think of you’ message.”
“I’m planning one real hang a month. That’s my role now.”
This is how it sticks. One habit. One identity shift. You don’t hope for better friendships. You live them.
P.S. You did what most people don’t: You actually followed through.
And that’s the whole reward: Less isolation. More consistency. A new social rhythm that supports you.
So here’s what’s next: I’m Matt. Ex-lawyer. Hollywood screenwriter. Dad. And now… The Friendship Guy.
I got obsessed with fixing my own social life. So I built a system, launched a hit podcast with one of my best friends, and created this challenge. (Also, fun fact: I co-founded a neighborhood dad crew that your favorite late-night host just joined 👀)
We’re just getting started.
