So this is dumb but I’ve been carrying around a little notebook to write random things down, and I’ve taken to recording names of new people I meet. Also people are way more forgiving of forgetting names and I’ve also accepted that people that aren’t are not worth being around anyway.
I see your dumb notebook and raise you an obsidian notes database… that idea didn’t last long…
Seriously though, little notebooks are lifesaving.
But what if they wear a different color shirt, or even worse, get a haircut?
