7-Day Reconnect Challenge

Reach out to people you miss with short, easy messages. One honest message counts as much as a long call.

Each day takes up to 5 minutes. Reaching out counts, whether or not they reply today.

  • 7 days
  • Up to 5 min a day
  • Easy
  • 1 Grace Day

No account needed. You can change the length, time, or pace after you start.

Built for real days

  • A smaller version every day

    Short on time or energy? Every task has a smaller version, and it counts as done.

  • Grace Days built in

    Use a Grace Day when life gets in the way. Your progress stays, and nothing resets.

  • A clear start and finish

    Tasks go from easy first steps to a simple finish, so you always know what comes next.

The 7-day plan

One task a day, from an easy start to a clear finish. The smaller version always counts as progress.

Getting started

  1. Day 1 · about 5 min

    List five people you miss on paper, without writing their contact details.

    Short on time? Think of three people you miss.

  2. Day 2 · about 5 min

    Choose the first person you would like to reach out to.

    Short on time? Choose one person.

Building momentum

  1. Day 3 · about 5 min

    Thank someone for something specific they did.

    Short on time? Write the thank-you and send it later if you like.

  2. Day 4 · about 5 min

    Share a song, an article, or a photo with a friend.

    Short on time? Choose what to share.

  3. Day 5 · about 5 min

    Ask a friend for a recommendation, such as a book, a show, or a recipe.

    Short on time? Think of what you would ask for.

  4. Day 6 · about 5 min

    Leave a kind comment on something a friend shared.

    Short on time? Read one friend's post and think of something kind.

Finishing strong

  1. Day 7 · about 5 min

    Write down what you are glad you did during this quest.

    Short on time? Name one thing you are glad you did.

Before you start

  • Keep names and contact details out of this quest. Make your list on paper or in your own notes.
  • Every task has a smaller version that does not need a reply. You can write a message now and send it later.
  • Choose people and ways of reaching out that feel comfortable to you.

Helpful tips

  • One honest message counts as much as a long call.
  • Reaching out counts, whether or not they reply today.
  • Keep messages short. A photo, a memory, or a simple hello is enough.

Two ways to finish well

You can set a reward for each finish when you start. Both are real wins.

Perfect Finish

Every task done, with no Grace Day used. The smaller version counts as done.

Flexible Finish

Every day covered, with Grace Days where you needed them. Missed a day? You're still in.
