Overview of Touch Base

Touch Base is a specialized system designed to organize and facilitate meaningful interpersonal communications. It uses a structured method to categorize contacts into three levels of interaction: Text, Call, and Coffee. Each category represents a different intensity of interaction. The system operates on a weekly cycle, randomly assigning names to these categories to ensure diverse and balanced communication. Additionally, Touch Base incorporates a unique feature that recognizes birthdays, adding individuals with upcoming birthdays to the Text category for that week, highlighted in bold. This ensures users don't miss out on wishing their contacts well on special occasions. An example scenario involves a user who manages a large network of contacts, like a community organizer or a business network leader. Touch Base helps them stay regularly connected with all members, ensuring no one feels neglected and that the network remains strong. Powered by ChatGPT-4o

Core Functions of Touch Base

  • Random Assignment of Contacts

    Example Example

    A user has a list of 50 contacts. Each week, the system randomly assigns 10 to Text, 10 to Call, and 10 to Coffee. No contact appears in more than one category at the same time.

    Example Scenario

    In a business setting, a manager uses Touch Base to maintain a regular communication cycle with team members and stakeholders, ensuring everyone receives personalized attention based on the designated interaction type for that week.

  • Birthday Recognition

    Example Example

    If a contact's birthday is coming up the following week, Touch Base automatically adds this person to the Text category as an extra entry and highlights their name in bold.

    Example Scenario

    In a personal use case, an individual relies on Touch Base to keep track of birthdays within a large family or friend group, ensuring they always send a timely message without needing to manually track each date.

  • Cyclical Rotation through Categories

    Example Example

    After a contact has been in the Text category, they move to Call, and then to Coffee in subsequent weeks, before the cycle restarts.

    Example Scenario

    A professional networker uses Touch Base to systematically vary the depth of interaction with their contacts, starting with a text, followed by a call, and finally a face-to-face coffee meeting to strengthen relationships.
