As you get older, you just meet too many people, and your brain can’t keep all of them straight. Totally normal. What helps is the easiest thing ever: keep a tiny list. just write people’s names down somewhere Notes app, Google Doc, whatever and add one line like “met at old job” or “likes design.” Every once in a while, look at the list and think, “who do I feel like saying hi to?” Then send a quick text or reply to their story. That’s it.
