Researchers find that daily social time provides a well-being boost. How can you fit in more?

• Invite a friend to join you if you typically eat breakfast or lunch at your desk.

• Catch up with a coworker. Connecting about after-work life may be just as important as getting a project update.

• Say hello in the elevator. Be spontaneous and break the ice for a quick pick-me-up.

• Exercise with pals, going on a group walk or joining a fitness class.

• Share chore time with family or friends. Grocery shop with a partner, cook together, or team up to tackle projects such as lawn care.

• Go “over the river and through the woods” to visit loved ones.

• Attend community events such as parades, dinners, performances, art walks, and cultural celebrations.
