Ignore the "noise" (which is why we've asked multiple times for AARP Community to allow "ignore"...).

Hi @WebWiseWoman , there is an ignore user option. Or are you talking ignore Individual posts?

What's helping me stay on track is the time I spend with GOD early in the morning before I begin my day..

I try to put down my phone at the park and other public spaces and make eye contact with people. So much of human interaction has been erased by technology - like self-check out at the grocery store, QR code ordering at restaurants, etc.

I’ve watched people on dates look at their phone the whole time. No conversation, just staring at their phones. The art of conversation is dissolving before our eyes. It’s all cat videos and social media.

Social challenge, staying on track for me — continuously working out at the gym and seeing friends, while there. Never stop having fun wherever you find it. And always make at least one person smile or laugh each day.

I am giving thought to which points redemption option I might choose that will lead to more social connection... like a restaurant gift card so I can meet up with a new friend. Everything is so expensive these days... every little bit helps.

My mindset tip is to put God first and always remain optimistic. Only hang out with positive people. 🌻

To stay on track, I use a list app and also schedule time on my calendar to make sure I complete to-do's.

Great ideas @melissap593745 . I like the reminders App.

A reminders app seems like a good idea and not overwhelming

Very good idea --- my local library has interesting (and free) events this summer --- stumbled upon this and wish I knew sooner.

I am trying to lock in a specific time each day for a call, coffee date, or hobby. When it's on my calendar it becomes a non-negotiable habit.

I write in my Soar In Joy journal lists, notes and reminders with dates and times.

Instead of saying “we need to get together” schedule a time and day while you’re with that person or talking to them. Once it’s on your calendar it will likely happen.
