What do you use to keep track of your everyday relationships?

Question

I really want to be thoughtful and reach out to people regularly and proactively, but I find it hard to keep track of everything and remember. Right now, I rely on my (sometimes erroneous) memory, the notes app on my phone and little reminders I leave on my g-cal (if I remember).

Accepted Answer

It's kinda vague for the term "relationships". You usually don't keep tabs on someone intimate like your partner, child, parent, friends because talking to them should be spontaneous and not some kind of chore.

LinkedIn is a helpful way to keep up with professional connections.

@lively_lena_lo @gayatri_john A great iphone app to use is called Kontact. You can tag contacts by how you know them, where you met them, key traits, etc. Then bulk send text to them without landing in a group chat. Really good for promoting something or just sending a "how's it going" text to a bunch of people at once

@singh_gayatri I meant the relationships beyond the people you engage with daily but you want to stay in touch, professional connections, people you went to school/university with, professors, someone you met while travelling etc.

@lively_lena_lo Good point! I meant the relationships that are not your closest friends or family, but still people you want to stay in touch with every now and then, professional connections, people you went to school/university with, professors, someone you met while travelling etc.

I think for some people it comes naturally, the need to connect. For those who doesn't come naturally, I think we have to put in effort to do so. If there was a way to automate a reminder after meeting some one. What do you think?
