DATES & PEOPLE
Adding and organizing people
People give personal dates their context. A simple, recognizable name is usually enough; add more only when it helps you remember well.
Use the name you naturally recognize
A nickname may be more useful than a formal name if that is how you think of the person. Distinguish duplicate names with a light cue such as family, work or city.
Connect several moments to one person
A birthday, anniversary and personal milestone can relate to the same person. Keeping that relationship avoids fragmented records and makes their dates easier to review.
Keep notes respectful and minimal
Write information that helps you act thoughtfully, such as a favorite cake or preferred way to celebrate. Do not store private information they would not expect you to keep.
Review rather than collect
Remove duplicates and update changed names or relationships. A smaller accurate list is kinder and more useful than a large neglected one.
COMMON QUESTIONS
A few useful answers.
Do I need someone’s full legal name?
No. Use the name that helps you recognize them.
Can one date involve more than one person?
Shared milestones can mention both people in the title or note. Use the relationship that makes the reminder easiest to understand.
Does Daytely contact people for me?
No. Daytely reminds you; you choose whether and how to reach out.
