I read about Mogul. It solves some of my problems related to keeping in touch with friends. During Covid, I got into more VC calls with friends to stay in touch. Once Covid lockdowns ended, I wanted a system that would remind me of touch basing with XYZ friend, based on last sync up date.
Over several years, my image as a good friend has tarnished since I didn't keep my side of bargain in enforcing good relationships. With older age, it's bit harder to make new friends. The least I can do is, reinforce older ones.
This comment is so so so relatable. I’ve lost a number of great friendships/relationships in my life because of how much I suck at keeping in touch with folks. I can’t even blame those folks for considering me a bad friend because of this. What does make me sad though is when some of them think I do this on purpose or that I don’t care about them. While I excel at many things, frankly, keeping in touch with family and friends is one of those social skills I’m not so great at. I constantly feel misunderstood on this point, but I get it, no one owes me understanding, especially if they perceive me to be a bad friend. On the bright side, this has made me much slower to judge others when they don’t behave the way I’d prefer. Anyway, I digress . . .
I just wanted to let you know I understand your perspective here.
Although Mogul was originally built for professional networking, I personally use it to maintain personal relationships (it’s amazing to see how impactful it is when you can recall super small details about someone/a convo with a friend).
