I love this type of bonding with friends and used to do it a lot. The problem is you have to live or be kinda close by, but I guess that is true for any less formal meetup. I guess the furthest away you are the more "a thing" the meetup must be and the duration longer.

In any case I love do errands with friends and even go help out with something. Even though I don't have time and energy for my stuff I feel like energy for hanging out with friends doing errands como from a different bucket.

It's also far easier to do if you live in a walkable, bikeable city. I used to live somewhere where even the nearest grocery store was a 10 minute drive away, and I barely ever saw anyone. Now I'm a 5-10 minute bike ride from pretty much everything I need and I spend so much more time with friends.

That is true. I also was luck enough to have a friend that didn't mind at all to pick me up out of his way even if just as a companion to do errands and stuff. Otherwise the distance would be a problem.

It's because it feels great doing something while also procrastinating your own stuff to do

That is so true. It is like a silver lining. I may be procrastinating but I am helping and spending some quality time with a friend.
