Sustaining valuable relationship despite busyness in Nigerian cities especially Lagos is not hard depending on how important the people involve cherish and value the relationship.
It is just like talking about people in distance relationship who must still find time to be close despite the kilometres they are apart. It is just like the saying, ‘where your treasure is, there will your heart be.’
When we say valuable relationship, we are talking about valuable people in your life, not people that come around to gossip or backbite about another person but people who are available to help you grow together in order to achieve success.
Though environment could play a difficult role on how you manage these relationships especially busy places like Lagos, you still have to create time for them.
These relationships can be sustained by using the social media to communicate. Communication is key to sustaining any relationship and so you need to create an avenue to make sure your means of communicating is intact and social media is your friend here.
By social media I am saying you have to go digital by calling, exchanging SMS, chatting and making use of the video call if need be. By doing this regularly you will not lose touch on important things due to busyness.
There are networks in Nigeria that when you subscribe you can pick plans that will make you call at a very cheap rate.
Another very important thing to do is to create time out of your busy schedule; it could be on a weekend or during lunch hours. Anyone that works for you and will help to foster these relationships because these are people that are like oil that helps your engine to function well.
Another thing you can do is to make sure that whenever you meet, you discuss important things since you have just a few minute to talk. Go straight to the point and leave the unimportant things.
Most importantly, you must prioritize. Set your priorities right and no matter what comes if it can be delayed don’t ever switch.
If you can live with all these points, you will get to spend time with these valuable people and nothing will affect your relationship.
