Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’ll have a genuinely good conversation with someone and then just… never follow up, and the connection quietly evaporates
- Someone gave me real time and good advice, and weeks go by where I never circle back to tell them I actually used it
- The conversation goes great and then it just...
- We have a great talk and the person leaves with "I’ll think about it," and within a day or two it’s evaporated
- My partner tells me about a stressful meeting or a worry about a friend, and a day later I’ve completely forgotten to ask how it went
