One suggestion I can make is to make objective facts your friend. Judge yourself against genuine accurately measured metrics. Hold yourself to some minimum/acceptable/excellent standards. Example: Problem: You are at increased risk of turning into a hermit. Expectation: I must attend no less than 6 meet ups per year (roughly 1 every 2 months). I should strive for 12 per year. (Some of you might say that's too low, you can adjust for yourself, don't get too excited by setting yourself stressful goals.) Have some excel spreadsheet or something and measure it. The gist of my suggestion is one word, quantify. This can be easier said than done and it's certainly not the only option. However it's a good option because metrics don't lie and in the absence of other methods to keep yourself in line you have to rely on an honest source of truth.
