Sometimes you just push as hard as you can, but the social result you were hoping for doesn’t click in the right way. Don’t beat yourself up over this. In fact, try viewing it as an opportunity. More importantly, don’t force the situation to take on the qualities you think it needs, because that rarely works out the way you want. Just chill out and go with the situation.

A colleague may confide in you about their love life today. No matter how awesome it is, resist the urge to gossip. Soap operas belong on TV, not played out in the workplace with you as villain. Respect their privacy and they’ll do the same for you.

Reach out to someone you haven’t heard from in a while. You’re going to get some information that puts your relationship in perspective. This evening is a good time for a big talk.

Don’t start any new plans until you analyze why the old ones failed. A big part of it has to do with things outside your control, but figure out if any of it was due to your own miscalculations.
