I used to treat relationships as casual until I realized I was dropping the ball on people I genuinely cared about — not because I didn’t care, but because I had no system.
Now every person I have a meaningful relationship with gets a file in people/. It has their bio, how we met, what they care about, and a log of our last few interactions. Before I jump on a call with someone, I open their file. I show up informed.
I tier my network deliberately: inner circle (10 people I invest in deeply), outer ring (50 people I stay in regular contact with), community (broader connections). Different investment levels, but all intentional.
The communication-protocol.md tells my AI how to help me stay connected — who I should be reaching out to, who I haven’t spoken to in too long.
