It has occurred to MHLon how much we need to have fun and relax with each other.
We are all friends, that's how this started. In the madness of always being the hosts to the party it's easy to feel like we're always in the midst of a party, but it's not quite the same.
The MH Binder allows for one house-residents-only event per month.
I've heard that some houses don't use it, that it is perceived as a pointless bit of fun when it could be spent on some world-changing event. I cannot stress how important it is to hang out with my housemates socially and to have fun. Otherwise all I'll ever associate them with is the business of running the house, and the House, for all my passion, may become more of a chore. I want to associate my housemates with fun, I want to get to know their personality outside of meetings and conference calls. I wnt to value them as whole human beings.
It seems that MH is about getting people to form their community in their image. Who would not wish to have fun? How can we expect our guests to chill if we are not chilled? How can we expect to work hard without a day of rest?
I would recommend using the budget, use that day as suggested in the binder. It may seem silly to some, but it's quality time that builds into something bigger.
