Be the kind of friend, colleague, or founder who remembers the little things

Dex helps you keep track of the people in your life—with smart reminders, notes, and one timeline across all your interactions. No more forgetting birthdays, follow-ups, or that great idea someone mentioned last time you talked.

I’ve been using Dex to organise my network and it’s been a total game-changer. I can take quick notes right after a call, and Dex reminds me to check in at just the right time.

Features I love:

• Gentle nudges for job changes, birthdays, and regular follow-ups

• Quick note-taking on desktop or mobile—with voice input supported

• A single timeline that tracks every email, message, meeting, and note

• Automatic contact syncing from LinkedIn, iMessage, Gmail, WhatsApp, and more

• Chrome extension to add contacts from LinkedIn (even if we’re not connected)

Relationships don’t thrive on autopilot. Dex makes it easier to show up consistently—for the people who matter.

Checklist

Checklists are valuable for two reasons:

(2) Perfect process is guaranteed, minimizing the scope for errors.

| Insight

Challenge: Reflect on a decision you made that significantly impacted your life. Write about the factors that led to the decision and the positive or negative outcomes that followed.

Example: Choosing a college, deciding to change careers, or ending a long-term relationship.
