Review a month of long-distance contact

Look at which contact arrangements were usable, rather than counting messages or ranking each person’s effort.

Try this

Each person chooses one arrangement to keep, one to change, and one to stop. Discuss practical examples rather than compiling a transcript.
Choose only one adjustment for the next period, such as shorter calls or a different weekend window.

A worked example

“The Sunday call fits well. The daily photo feels like homework, so I’d like to stop that and keep spontaneous pictures.”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Write down the new agreement if useful, then retire the old one. A review should reduce confusion, not create a performance record for the relationship.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
