When friend groups lose their capacity for long-term planning

Our friend group used to make long-term plans together but ever since the pandemic we all just plan week by week and I miss having shared things to look forward to but I don't know if everyone else has just accepted that the future is too uncertain now.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Collective temporal orientation has contracted in response to uncertainty, leaving the group without shared anticipation.
