If you're throwing a party and want to impress someone, you only have 20 minutes to get the job done or they're going to leave. Luckily we have such good friends.

  1. Offer them a drink in less that eight minutes.
  2. Speak with your guests within eight minutes of them arriving.
  3. Offer snacks in less than ten minutes.
  4. Offer drink refills within twenty minutes.
  5. Don't talk about politics or money.
