My friend-ranking spreadsheet: Why everyone should rank and cull their friends

Would you rank your friends out of ten? At the beginning of the year writer Flora Gill did just that. She decided to make a spreadsheet with all of her friends and began marking them on topics like mutuality, baby, interest and more. The process, she says, has helped her make time and space for people she really cares about and wants to spend time with.
