Solitude

"If you want to savor your time with loved ones, make sure you
also spend time away from them. Adam Waytz, PhD, explains that
our highly connected world leaves us "socially stuffed," which
hampers our ability to genuinely empathize. Periods of solitude
refresh our appetite for togetherness the same way being hungry
before a meal can make it seem more delicious."
