Never losing track of a contact
A network that grows without a follow-up system quickly becomes unmanageable. That's what Linkeep's follow-up is for.
Active follow-up vs. passive "To revisit"
Follow-up with a deadline is for precise reach-outs, when you know exactly when to get back in touch. "To revisit" works differently: it naturally resurfaces contacts you haven't reactivated in a while, with no date set in advance. The two complement each other, for two different uses.
Setting realistic deadlines
A follow-up deadline set too close quickly becomes a source of guilt if it's missed. Prefer a realistic date, even if it seems far off: a follow-up honored in three weeks beats one pushed back three times in a week.
Make it a ritual, not a chore
Going through your follow-ups once a week, for a few minutes, is enough to keep a network alive without it becoming a burden. It's the regularity of the ritual, not its intensity, that makes the difference over time.
