when you’re done.

Quit your job as a TV anchor and get

a degree in library science. But if TV

anchoring is what you love, then create

an extroverted persona to get yourself

through the day. Here’s a rule of thumb

for networking events: one new honestto-goodness

relationship is worth ten

fistfuls of business cards. Rush home afterward

and kick back on your sofa.

Carve out restorative niches.

Respect your loved ones’ need for socializing

and your own for solitude

(and vice versa if you’re an extrovert).

Spend your free time the way you

like, not the way you think you’re supposed

to. Stay home on New Year’s Eve

if that’s what makes you happy. Skip

the committee meeting. Cross the street

to avoid making aimless chitchat with

random acquaintances. Read. Cook.
