Interesting! But I don't understand the use. If there's someone I want to stay in touch with, I will do it despite the catchup frequency. Do help me know anything I'm missing.
It’s also a good ledger of exactly how much I socialize and with whom. Often I find that I think I hangout with certain friends more than I do, and this helps me confront the reality that I need to put in more effort.
To be clear the catchup frequency is not meant to promote “hangout every X days” but rather to encourage me to be more mindful with who I hangout with and how often (roughly).
