Keep in touch

You need this if…

• You think of an old colleague, realize it’s been a year, and feel too awkward to write.
• A good client went quiet and you only noticed when they hired someone else.
• Your best referrals come from people you haven’t spoken to since spring.

01What it reads

• Email
• Contacts
• Calendar

02What you get

A short list of people you’ve gone quiet on, each with a drafted note that sounds like you wrote it.

03What stays with you

It drafts the note. You decide who hears from you.

04How you ask

“Who haven’t I talked to in a while?”

Paste this into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, then add your own material where it says so. Take out card numbers, passwords and anything private about other people first.

Below is a list of people I want to stay in touch with, plus the date and topic of my last conversation with each, as best I remember.

[paste here]

Tell me who I've gone quiet on the longest, and who matters most to reach out to first. For the top five, draft a short note, two to four sentences, that sounds like a real person checking in. Reference something specific from our last conversation. No 'just circling back' or 'hope this finds you well.' Don't ask for anything. Make it easy for them to reply.

When it runs on its own.

Runs every other Monday, checks who you haven’t emailed or met with lately, and leaves a few drafts in your drafts folder.

That’s what Second Nature is: this job and 9 to 11 more like it, set up on your own computer around how you work, with me.
