Rituals

• rituals reduce uncertainty and ambiguity (durkheim)
• the goodreads article on observation and rituals
• [[ habits ]] and rituals blog (link)
• wednesday waffles are a nice ritual
• weekly calls are good rituals
• rituals ‘create a dynamic field of energy that binds actors together through the enactment of shared rules and through the shared participation’ the-end-of-love
• Rituals, like norms, define the intensity, boundaries, and object of emotions.

i think it would be nice for us (or anyone else for that matter) to have some rituals

Because ritual is a structured behavior, it directs attention to the object of the interaction rather than to the inner self.
