There’s an app called garden where you enter the name of the people you care about and how often you want to talk to them: once a week, a month etc.
I started using it and being open to people about it. A few mentioned it sounded a bit weird but otherwise I’ve gotten overwhelmingly positive feedback and I’m staying in touch regularly with the people I care about!
The “what I get/what they get from me” columns from this Dunbar exercise are a bit too much for me though.
Same, I’ve been using https://clay.earth for this with good results. Biggest things I’ve noticed:
Taking quick notes after interactions with “I can get” and “I can provide” helps when trying to remember things before your next conversation
Clay will automatically update location and remind you about people without you needing to set reminders manually, which removes a lot of grunt work
People see through periodic “it’s been a while!” texts sent on the first of each month. Thoughtful gifts and things like holiday cards with a handwritten note go a long way toward making things feel intentional.

https://clay.earth looks interesting! Are you still using it now (7 months later)? Would you still recommend it?
