How in the hell do you keep track of what's going on in other people's lives?
I want to be more social and expand my social circle, and important part of accomplishing that is to know what keeps someone busy so you can show interest and ask about that.
However I never can seem to remember such things about people.
Whenever someone tells me stuff like "I'm helping my sister move this Saturday" and I see them after that has happened I can't remember it and can't talk about that with them.
That was just an example.
My solution now is to write stuff about people close to me down in an extra calendar app but I seriously feel like there's something wrong with me for not remembering things like that by default.
Anyone have an app or some tricks?
Anyone struggling with the same thing?
I have this exact struggle, and unfortunately the best solution I've found is practice and putting in additional effort. One thing that may help is to repeat details/events you want to remember a few times in your head until it actually sets in. I don't have many other ideas beyond that and advertising an iffy memory.
