I have the same problem trying to stay connected to friends. One thing that helps is having a regular weekly get-together. A handful of us meet at the same place every Tuesday evening to go for a walk with our dogs. By having it be a regular “appointment” means that I don’t schedule other things for that time. Also, I don’t have to pick up the phone to make a date. Good luck.
I’m really bad at keeping up with friends too. I just get caught up with my own life and don’t make time for others, which is horrible. I think I’ll join you in your focus. 🙂
